Flu is endemic, Wuhan virus is not. Yet. let’s keep it that way.
Flu is a bad comparison. This is more like the cold virus. On super steroids. Spider Monkeys and Gorillas are both primates. Which would you rather be locked in a room with?
Doing nothing about this is stupid. What ever comes of this is in addition to the flu because, as stated, this is not the flu. It has a CFR of about 2% when you have all the resources of a province or state or country available to focus on it. If the medical system in any area is overwhelmed the CFR rockets to 15%. So if it becomes endemic, like the flu, and our medical system has adapted sufficiently, we will have a lot more deaths than from flu. Downplaying other people’s concerns is a disservice.
Just giving some perspective...
How is Flu endemic? You saying it’s a local thing and not a pandemic virus?
I suppose the coronavirus may end up being more epidemic than the Flu, but even that is really up in the air for now
