As I've said to a scientist friend of mine:

This disease is deadlier and more contagious than the flu.
It is far less common.
Only one of these facts can change.

You should be *concerned* about this virus -- it is affecting people you 'know'. For instance, I am not going to be able to see my friend this weekend in London because she lives in Milan and travel restrictions would apply if she got sick. We're not on top of this virus. And yes, 10% mortality rate > 2% mortality rate, but 2% is f-ing high...
