Get a hold of yourself, man. If you’re THAT frightened, stock up and shelter in place. You also might want to see a psychiatrist about that panic disorder. I’m not being flippant; if your actual attitude matches your hysterical post, you may need medication to calm your nerves.
But it looks as if the people who are dying are high risk patients -— old and/or medically unstable. If that describes you, then I can understand your concern, and as I said, stock up and shelter in place, but calm down.

Similar age-proportions as the flu, but at greater rates. CDC figures suggest COVID kills those over 70 at a slightly lower proportion of overall deaths from it than than the flu, and a slightly higher proportion of people in their 50s. Pretty much no one under 10.

Most people, most of the time, don’t consider 50-year olds to be “elderly”.
