It probably won’t hurt you. You probably won’t even get it.
The concern comes from the contagious nature...which is many times more than the flu.
The percent that get really sick is higher than the flu.
The death rate is at leastten times the normal influenza. AND the hospitals are pretty much full with flu patients. This thing comes in and overwhelms the existing system.
The bigger issue is how other countries have been extreme in their reaction, how it impacts schools and businesses. China says they are back to work there is little hard evidence that anything is moving. Cargo, not people.
The potential economic impact could be significant and last a couple of quarters.
This is not four horseman time. But the impact will be felt for a while.

you are just describing the first wave. what about this winter’s wave (norther hemisphere?)
as you know, once you extrapolate this into a recurring seasonal illness, the world quickly becomes unrecognizable.
