We have recent data from Wuhan.

We have old data from 1918.

This is a white swan, not a black one.

More importantly, the mortality, while much higher than flu, it's still relatively low.

Now imagine a virus as contagious as this one, but with 10% mortality over all age groups. That would be unprecedented and probably cause society meltdown.
