Out of curiosity.

To anyone who knows more than I about this virus (which is probably everybody): Why is this disease so frightening? It seems to affect very few people when compared to other common diseases that can kill (like severe flu)?

[Old Professer]

This disease is frightening simply because the vector to humans is the common mosquito; ubiquitous, insidious and invidious and we are defenseless against it.
