Not even close, actually. The flu is usually a mild viral infection that affects the lungs and respiratory system, although in some people it can prove deadly. Our bodies typically can get rid the viral infection in 7 to 10 days in otherwise healthy adults.
On the other hand, if you are talking about the plague that was pandemic throughout Europe and much of Asia in the 14th century that was known as Bubonic Plague, it was caused by bacteria and not a virus. Our bodies can succumb rapidly to untreated severe bacterial infections. At the time, antibiotics were not yet invented and around 70% of those infected died. The bacteria that caused "Black Plague", named for the big black "blisters" (buboes) it caused, was spread by rats and is called plague bacillus, Yersinia pestis.

The so-called "Swine Flu", more correctly called 2009 H1N1 Pandemic Flu, is a variant of a common seasonal disease. This particular variation is significantly different from the usual in that it strikes the young disproportionately and more seriously. It is caused by a virus. The Black Plague was probably Bubonic Plague and its related form Pneumonic Plague. It struck a completely unprepared population in Europe and it kills at a much higher rate. Although now readily treated with antibiotic, without treatment it can kill 25% or more of those infected, a much higher death rate than the flu has. It is caused by a bacteria, not by a virus. u learn how to get fat
