The mortality rate of influenza is 0.1%. The mortality rate of coronavirus is anywhere between 3-5%, and is significantly higher for older demographics. The physician for Congress projected that 70M-150M will contract the virus in the US alone. This is nothing like influenza.

It's NOT about the mortality rate. Substitute FLU for car crashes. Whatever else you want. It's about inducing panic and watching people profit from it. It's not right.

OP's Tweet was pretty irresponsible. Sure, hysteria doesn't help anything but people should still take precautions, stay aware & be prepared. It's a new virus rapidly spreading & overwhelming our healthcare infrastructures. 1000 people have died in Italy alone.
