The issue isn't COVID-19 versus the common flu. The common flu mortatility is less thatn 0.1%.
For COVID-19... Death by age bracket is not good. Thankfully not as bad as MERS (34%) or SARS (9.6%).
FYI: First case of the virus in Wyoming USA yesterday. Walmart ran out of toilet paper and people are stocking up. We always carry two months of supplies, so I'm not fussed.
