The flu is a known disease that is transmitted human to human. The Novel Coronavirus is a disease that was in animals, got transmitted to a human, then changed itself again to be able to be transmitted human to human. It is an unknown disease, with no vaccine or treatment at this time, and highly contagious. The experts are finding out more things about it daily, but never forget this is an unknown which has managed to transform itself twice, and can do so again.
This is not hysteria. This is a concerted effort to try to prevent the medical and financial devastation that would happen if this disease goes unchecked. And, by the way, from what I have read, death from this disease is nothing like the flu. It is horrendous.
