Flu deaths have been in the range of 20,000 - 60,000 a year but will probably be much lower this year with all the social distancing and mask wearing.
This virus is not in China's best interests. They need a strong dollar and weak RMB so they can continue to export their products and maintain jobs for their people. They are not stupid enough to intentionally try to kill or ruin all their customers.
And don't forget they own a trillion dollars of our debt.
