And 2,700 have died from it compared to the 14,000 that have died from the flu?
12k have died from the flu from October 1, 2019 through February 20, 2020. That's ~84 people per day (143 days).
I believe the first reported cases of COVID-19 were on 1/20/20 and to date there have been 2,760 deaths. That's ~76 deaths per day (36 days).
One big difference at this point is that we have a flu shot (which has limited impact) but no COVID-19 shot.
Doing the same things you do to avoid the flu should help tremendously (use anti-bacterials, sneeze into your elbow, etc).

Wash your hands, wipe your arse, flush your toilet cover up when you sneeze, throw away the kleenex and drink orange juice.
I'm reducing it to minimal, but doctors are basically saying if we just do these things we are cutting our risk.

Actually, the biggest difference is exposure. The flu is everywhere. Corona is not. If I mapped corona to the globe, that death total would sky rocket.
