This is not the flu.
You don’t shut down 400,000,000 people and literally chain many of them in their homes for the flu.
We need to stop comparing this to the common flu.
Forget it Jake, it’s Troll town.
I’m just posting the numbers. Almost 80,000 people died in about 6 months. That’s over 13,000/month.
SO, even if the number of deaths for 2019nCoV are 10 times what is being reported, it’s still lower than the number of flu deaths in 2017-2018.
I believe the important part of the comparison is the numbers.
If we take the worst numbers folks can think of now, and compare them to the flu, it more or less confirms that life goes on even when those sorts of numbers (generally not quite this high) are experienced year after year and taken in stride.

One of the things I always find interesting about these situations, is that some folks always trash seemingly good information, and absolutely believe any bad information.
Many times that bad information is hardly more than a rumor.
