"You are also comparing death rate in USA for influenza vs death rate for Coronavirus in China and Iran - there is a difference in level of care."
So we'd all like to think.. however its not working out that way for the 11 already dead is it yet the US medical system is hardly strained at this point, I bet each patient has numerous specialists in multiple fields looking at them and every bit of equipment available to them.
"Regarding mutations, any virus might mutate. There's a different strain of flu every year too."
No, Its NOT the Flu.. its already reported this has mutated.. @4 months old, so feasibly it could go 2-3 more in 2020.
Coronavirus has mutated into more aggressive disease, say scientists

I've lived through every other Apocalypse coming as well, this is the only time I've seen no way out just a deteriorating situation until we get over the first surge of it. Best hope we have is that it burns out by itself.
