Well to be fair, it has a 3.4% transmission rate. The flu is .1%. It’s a new virus and all the chaos in China created a lot of fear.

Nope. 3.4% is the fatality rate. For transmission, think three or four time as easy to catch as "the flu that's going around."

And around 15% of those who catch it, end up in the ICU.
