I don't think it would be possible to find any real statistics of flu infections in 1818, but I am thinking you meant 1918, a year that there really was a flu pandemic. In 1918, an estimated amount of 500 million people worldwide were infected and 50-100 million of them were killed.
Spanish Influenza a.k.a the Black Death

The Great Influenza Epidemic, also known as the Spanish Flu, was a deadly global pandemic that occurred in 1918-1919. It infected an estimated 500 million people worldwide and resulted in the deaths of approximately 50 million individuals.
Influenza is a respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It spreads from person to person through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person talks, coughs, or sneezes. You can also get influenza by touching a surface or object with the virus on it and then touching your mouth, nose, or eyes.
Influenza virus may be transmitted among humans in two ways: Ø by direct contact with infected individuals Ø by contact with contaminated objects (called fomites, such as toys, doorknobs)
Influenza primarily infects birds and mammals, including humans. It is a virus that affects the respiratory system and can cause symptoms such as fever, cough, and body aches.
