The problem is the asymptomatic spread. The fact that it is airborne, meaning you don't need to cough all you breathe the same air as someone shedding the virus. No it won't kill most but 20% hospitalized rate coupled with asymptomatic airborne spread can be a disastrous when we have no treatment or vaccine. We need people to get infected and get better so we can build an immune population but we don't want it to happen to fast. Sure the media are fear mongering but that doesn't mean this is a fake crisis. If you think that then you are just uninformed and in denial. It not that big of a deal we just need to make sure we slow the infection rate for the next few weeks then we can start to normalize our lives again. Yes people die of all sorts of things all the time and they will continue to, in addition to the deaths from the Chinese virus.
There is literally not one professional saying the death rate is lower than the flu. Not one. And I’ve looked hard. The flu doesn’t hospitalize 15-20% of its victims.
Neither does the coronavirus. We have no idea how many people actually have it and case mortality rate is a useless stat given we aren't testing literally everyone that gets it. The only people who get tested and are included are people who were already extraodinarily sick with it to begin with.

Wrong.
The seasonal sniffles doesn't show any symptoms up to three days after people become contagious.
The only difference between the seasonal sniffles and coronavirus is the coronavirus is less deadly.
You have my permission to pee your panties over the sniffles, but there's no rational and informed reason anyone else should join your hysteria.
