Time to stop panicking.

Wash your hands - with water and soap - more than usual and take multi vitamins and minerals.
Flu has a fatality rate of .1%, Thus virus is between 3.4 and 6%, so between 340 and 600 times as deadly, and it spreads and multiplies in a similar way.

Don't tell me, you also think climate change is a hoax too...
