That's why it's important to contain it before you're giving it to your parents or elderly around you. Problem is that Corona is much more aggressive AND the mortality rate is about 10 times higher than a seasonal flu against a population that to this date is totally vulnerable since there's no immunity to it within the population. That's a c0cktail set up for severe consequences similar to war-like scenarios in some parts of the world if action is not taken, like you see evident in italy.If you contacted an extremely rare disease, for which the mortality rate was 100% within 30 days, it would be no comfort to you that your odds of contracting the illness were 1/500m. However, the fatality rate for Swine Flu was much higher, and much broader, and the official response to it was virtually non-existent.
The fatality rate for ebola was much higher than Swine Flu and both of them weren't as threatening as this because it wasn't as contagious. Can't go on fatality rate alone. Politicians don't enjoy shutting down countries if they really don't have to, that should tell you something.
