SARS killed over the course of a year I believe. This has only been a month. I saw projections that if it continues at current exponential pacing, then after 30 days, 130 million or so will be infected with 23 million or so dead.
It's too early to tell. This thing has a 10 day gestation period that it can spread without symptoms and another 8 days till symptoms get severe, so 18 days before an infected person is at risk of death. That's nearly a month of thinking they are healthy or just have a cold, not taking it seriously. The deaths this week are still from the first wave of infected. Just wait till this 1k+ new infections each day begin having severe symptoms next week. This is going to get worse. I just hope that numbers outside China remain steady, but I'm concerned that it was being spread in other countries before they even knew to watch for it, and now people are out there thinking they just have the flu, but it is really coronavirus.
