Apparently it's quite a bit more infectious. This coronavirus is something like 1:2.5, whereas the typical flu is about 1:1.
People do worry about the flu, too. This past flu season in Australia was particularly rough, and it was all over the media. It came up in day-to-day conversation.
Part of the reaction is political, too, ostensibly to appear to be actively doing something, e.g., Los Angeles declaring an emergency for 9 infections.
