it's not the number of deaths. the disease is still growing and their is a 4% death rate. the fear over the disease is palpable in asia and it is affecting commerce. these things have a way of spiraling. it's too early to say if it is going to be a bigger problem, but it does have potential

Then 1918-19 influenza pandemic killed 20-40 million people, or an average of 35000 to 70000 deaths per day for 18 months. stanford.edu
