It's just not comparable to the flu - this coronavirus is far more deadly and also more infectious. Look at the tremendous pressure on Wuhan hospitals - the flu doesn't have that effect. The real worry is what happens if it gets a foothold in various third-world countries - a 2% mortality rate would be totally overwhelming for them
