R0=2.2 and CFR=2.5% is all you need to know to realize this is not the “seasonal flu”. Look at the visualizations in this article[0] that compare the average number of people infected by each sick person and the fatality rate of various historical epidemics.

Still hard to believe to me that with the current numbers at least 30 million people will die. And we are not even at 3000 yet.
