It is at least an order of magnitude more deadly than the seasonal flu.

I could be wrong but it is way too early to make this characterization. I believe millions already have the disease and for the vast majority this is just like any old cold or flu. Once the denominator catches up to these people the percentages will be dramatically less. It's certainly not good for elderly with preexisting conditions. I'll give you that and it may well turn out to have an unusually high mortality rate there. The curious thing is why kids are generally not getting this? Are they and just asymptomatic?

I certainly hope to not get it but the cat's out of the bag and will run its course regardless of what governments do.
