Umm...Canada typically sees 200 to 300 deaths from Flu per year. So if you were going to be scared of something, it makes more sense to be scared of the flu.
Coronavirus mortality rate is estimated (at the high end) to be about 3%. Is it potentially a serious global pandemic? Sure, especially since the incubation period seems to be about 14 days, during which the person who can spread the disease shows no signs of sickness. But big picture, it's not as big a scare as some folks here seem to think it is. MP risk is unchanged...and keep enjoying your favourite Chinese restaurant.
