So?

More people die of flu than Ebola, too. If Ebola came to town, do you think you should worry about it? What if Ebola suddenly became much more contagious, and there was no vaccine?

LOL..this isn't Ebola. It's basically the flu. Quick, let's trash the economy over a bad cold and cause worse problems.

Do the math. How bad will the economy be trashed if more people die than in the 1918 Spanish flu?

Compare R0’s. Compare fatality rates.
