Well, from what I have read (and I have read a lot), the Cornonavius basically IS the flu. If you're very old, very young, or have a compromised immune system, it can be fatal. A healthy person who gets is may get somewhat sick or develop pneumonia, but this is not the plague or anything like that. Overall, this is not something that is going to wipe out hundreds of thousands of people. The flu kills more per year than this will.
