So far, the coronavirus fatality rate is 3%. Considering the lack of symptoms shown in some carriers, it might be much higher than that. Also considering the lack of symptoms, no one knows exactly *how* contagious it is, but scientists know the strain is capable of mutating very, very rapidly.

And in the US, this year's flu strain was already bad, and the vaccine not particularly effective. For once, I'm glad to be in a relatively insular location and not in the Bay Area (which would have either the second or third-highest concentration of visitors from China).
