There really is not much of a similarity between the two besides the fact that the both caused a worldwide pandemic.
The black death was caused by the bacteria Yersinia pestis, while the Spanish influenza was caused by a highly virulent strain of influenza virus (H1N1).
The most common form of the black death (Bubonic Plague) is believed to have spread by bites from infected fleas carrying the bacteria. Pneumonic plague, which was less common by more virulent was spread through the respiratory tract. Similarly influenza is also an airborne disease, however, other than that they are completely different pathogens that occured in completely different time periods.

∙ 10y agoThe bubonic plague and the pneumonic plague are caused by the same microorganism. They are different in the way they are contracted. The pneumonic plague is contracted from another person who has pneumonic plague. Pneumonic plague basically affects the lungs. The bubonic plague affects the lymph system. The lymph nodes become swollen and black because they die. The bubonic plague is contracted by fleas that carried the microorganism in their saliva when they bite.

What are the similarities between Atenism and the monotheistic religion of Biblical Hebrews?
There are few known similarities between Atenism and Judaism, apart from the fact that both are monotheistic. And there is no evidence that either religion influenced the rise of the other. Atenism was imposed on Egypt by King Akhenaten in the fourteenth century BCE, but only lasted until his death twenty years later. Monotheistic Judaism appears to have its origins around one thousand years after the brief Egyptian experiment with Atenism.
