My point is that you should compare projected number of infections and deaths from COVID-19 to the flu.
If you do, it's clear that this is not just another flu.
I'm not sure what aspect of that will lead to overwhelmed hospital systems and massive deaths.
The advice I've been hearing is that
- if you have COVID-19 symptoms, self isolate (and lots of areas are moving to 'shelter in place' style restrictions in any case)
- if you are in an at-risk population, self isolate
- if you've been in contact with COVID-19, or travelled, self isolate
There is some concern over when to test, mostly because there is a shortage of kits in some places.
