Listen, Chicken Little...stop shitting yourself. Its just the flu. Otherwise the whole world has to go into PERMANENT lockdown FOREVER just so around 15,000 geriatrics and/or immuno-suppressed can last a little longer out of the 37,000 who would normally die from the flu, sad as it is, EVERY year.
No we don't have to go into permanent lockdown. But saying 'its fine just ignore it' is just going to let it continue to spread exponentially. Its been spreading exponentially thus far, theres no reason to say it will magically stop if we keep on about the same way
Well the flu has an average incubation period of 2 days while corona has average of 5. So you can have it for a lot longer and be spreading it without knowing. So while they both spread exponentially this spreads at a faster exponential rate. It also appears to have a high death rate.

The flu spreads 'exponentially'--no-one worries about that.
