Only in the modern media is the flu like "Coronavirus" a deadly hell disease from hell from real hell.
The deaths from Corvid-19 are next to nowt compared with % of sufferers. Not too bigger deal than flu. Stop believing the hype.

There is a danger in expressing unsubstantiated opinion as fact.
Fact: the Corona Virus mortality rate is, as announced by the WHO, 3.4% of cases contracted. This number is derived by looking at the death rate over all people contacting the virus, however the older you are the higher the death rate, and elderly males are more likely to die. So above 70 the rate is significantly worse.
The mortality rate for common influenza, averaged over all contracting, is typically described as around 0.1% as recently confirmed by the WHO.
The author of this opinion piece should check his supposed fact with WHO data.
