We have a high death rate attributed to the flu. How many of those were old farts like me that were ready to go anyway?

Good point. Fatalities from flu are in the multiple thousands. So, why worry about the Wuhan virus? I think, it’s because we are familiar with the flu. Some years it’s bad, other years not so bad, some - really terrible. But, it’s a known evil, at least most years. Wuhan is a new, unknown beast. Is it going to kill - like flu - 1 or 2 out of a 1000 cases, or is it going to be 20-30?
