To the spouter from Wildwood. The mortality rate of Covid-19 is around 1%. By your numbers the mortality rate of Swine Flu is 0.0016. If 61 million people were infected with Covid-19 it would theoretically result in 610,000 deaths. Be careful about comparing apples with oranges and do the math. Although these measures all seem extreme they are preventative. There's no need to panic yet, just stay informed and aware. And wash your hands!
