Are you Immuno compromised, less than a year old, or old and at deaths door such that a flu would do it??
Speaking of the flu, why aren't you talking about that - Hmmm?? It's been going around before this bugger and has a far higher death rate. Why weren't you screaming about the flu before this??
Here is what is going to happen. The corona virus is going to go through the worlds population like the yearly flu is now with a far less death rate. Pediatrics is going to have a few more babies sick than the usual flu. Nursing homes are going to have a bit more than the usual flu going to the hospital. Folks with AIDs, Transplants and other immuno-compromising situations who should have been preparing for the yearly flu should be talking to their doctors and praying that the human trials for the corona virus is successful and safe for them in time.
We should be praying for the vaccine makers, that they will be able to make enough of it to make a difference and for wise doctors and nurses to administer it.
Those in the US and in the civilized countries who take vitamins, eat healthy, exercise and sleep well should sail though this like the flu. But you were doing this in preparation for the flu already weren't you?? And, thank God, for Trump's "Right to Try" law. Without it, even if the vaccine was developed, safe and effective for all, the vaccine could not be used for years.

That's not accurate whatsoever. The flu has a CFR (Case Fatality Rate) of ~0.1%. CV-19 has a CFR (per the WHO) of AT LEAST 3.4%. That's 34X more deadly than the flu. Oh, and it spreads roughly 4X faster as well (R0 factors), lives on surfaces up to 9 days (flu is ~1-2 days) and asymptomatic carriers can pass it - unlike the flu. Oh, and symptoms may not show for 28 days (avg is 5-6 days) where the flu manifests within a couple.
Aside from that, yeah, it's "just like the flu"..nope.
