This virus will be killing way more than the flu.
CDC estimates (US) that so far this season there have been at least 15 million flu illnesses, 140,000 hospitalizations and 8,200 deaths from flu. If #nCoV2019 does this every year will people lose interest? #Virusespic.twitter.com/CVAKk1eltC

Almost certainly yes. Once the 1918 flu went from pandemic to endemic it just became background noise for humanity. The initial pandemic is more along the lines of the cannons going off in 1812 Overture.

2019 nCoV is a serious desease. Making facile comparisons to influenza, which the government undertakes a yearly vaccine awareness campaign, is neither insightful or helpful.

I think that misses the point. Yes, 2019 nCoV is a serious disease. But the point is so is influenza. It also is deadly, but because it's not new or novel, people are like "ho-hum, it's just the flu."

I think that the line about the flu killing the very old, the very young, and the very sick makes it seem like other people's problem. (I've always gotten a flu shot, but I had a different picture of what "immunocompromised" meant before my dad got a stem cell transplant.)

Type coronavirus into twitter videos and get an idea of what is actually going on in China. It’s like the apocalypse, not seasonal influenza

I was thinking of creating a graph overlapping the data from FluView with the JHU Center for Systems Science & Eng. to make this very valid point!
