If you're concerned about the coronavirus and afraid to show it because people around you say it's all a media hyperbole and you're overreacting, read this, I've got the science summarised for you (from the Lancet, Imperial College London, HKU-Harvard studies): 1) It is definitely not like the flu - on average an infected patient would infect 2.6 people (vs. 1.1-1.5 for the flu). It has a symptomatic fatality rate of 1.4%, more than 10-50 times higher than the 2009 influenza fatality rate depending on the country you’re in.
