As has been mentioned on other threads, it's not the severity of the virus, but the method(s) of transmission. This is the biggest question out there: if you touch someone, breath their air, sit on their toilet, get in a bus with them, get in an airplane with them ???
With the flu, at least you have a reasonable chance of avoiding it with a flu shot.
With this shit, what do you even do? Hide in your house? Shut the windows? Take a Clorox shower?
At this point, who knows.
