It seems there are misstatements about the flu and fatalities.
Not really. Suffice it to say, far more Americans have died from complications of the flu and pneumonia than are likely to die from Corona, even if it spreads widely.
Again - this disease is not killing people outside of China. Something else is going on with the virus, the response and specifically what Red China is doing internally.

I assume we have identified a single strain and are counting deaths directly due to that virus, correct?
Yes, Covid-19 (the 19th iteration of this virus) and it isn't fatal (or certainly not significantly) outside China.
So, you have to ask yourself - is it actually killing people inside China or are they just saying it is? And if it is, why hasn't it been fatal outside China, particularly if their overall rates (even if you doubt specific numbers) are correct at a 2% mortality rate?
This is where human beings are blessed with a brain and rational thinking. Do some analysis of these facts.
Now, can this get worse? Sure. Is it something to be concerned about? Absolutely.
Should we panic? Never. (And Americans panic easily, so this is a tall fricking order for everyone to remain calm.)
