just for perspective,

the current flu season saw 15 million cases and 8,200 deaths up till now in the US alone - a mortality rate of about 0.054%, so we certainly don't want 2019-nCoV to become as big an epidemic given that it seems ~40x more deadly right now (statistics are still wonky on that one), but imo there seems to be no reason to panic
