For people saying "The flu is worse than the corona virus". That's just not true. The total deaths are higher because millions have been infected with the flu. and the flu will slow down with warmer weather. But from a mortality rate viewpoint corona is much much worse...
The seasonal flu has a mortality rate of 0.1% (WHO) ....Corona virus has a mortality rate of 3.4% ( WHO. The mortality rate is 34 times that of the Flu !!
if it spreads like the Flu or worse, the warmer weather speeds it up (due partly to travel) rather than slowing it down like the flu, the overall death numbers from corona virus could be devastating...That's why people are so concerned !!
We shouldn't panic, but we damn well better take this seriously
