If no measures are taking this would make flu look like a hiccup. Also, the rate of hospitalization from this virus is far higher than the flu, so it is a huge strain on our health care system. If no measures are taken at all it would be overwhelmed. This is not like the flu!.
There's no way you could possibly know that because no one knows how many people have gotten it. No one knows, including the experts. Remember they were telling is 2 miilion could die, now it's 60,000. Remember you don't need masks, now they're suggested or required? You read everything and make up your own mind.
