I heard this bogus reasoning so many times in the last weeks. You're comparing a disease that's global and reached pretty much everywhere to the one that's at its initial stages of spreading.
Coronavirus is highly contagious, at least 50-200 times more deadly than flu. It's exactly the virus you should be worried about.
When you walk with a flu into a doctor's office, he doesn't bat an eye. Coronavirus is treated in hazmat suits.
