Corona virus general questions mega thread

I remember reading an article how nearly 600 people a year die of the common flu in the UK. Now imagine every country in europe you are going to have a large number of people. Who unfortunately will suffer from the flu virus. My question is has the media made us overeact to the corona virus ?. I am sure if the media had focused on the flu virus and its casualities there would be equally wide spread panic.

Don't think I would have anything to contribute (unless there are specific questions that went unanswered and I happen to have read something about it or have general molecular biological knowledge that applies). I don't think that there there is a database that would try to deconvolute that information. Given the current situation folks are probably more likely
