We had an estimated 45M influenza cases in 2017-2018- roughly 13.8% of total US population. Of those cases, an estimated 61K died- or 0.135% of those that were infected. If the Coronavirus hit those same 45M with a 3% mortality rate, that would 1.35M, which would put it as one of the worst pandemics in the US, let alone if it hit other countries in the same fashion. It would be catastrophic. 3% is massive compared to 0.135%.

The reason why this virus is so much more serious than SARS is that SARS only infected others after symptoms showed. This new Coronavirus reportedly can infect others
before symptoms show (2-14 day incubation period).
Also, China supposedly has 60+ million citizens in quarantine lockdown now and is quickly building new hospitals within 8 days that can hold 1,000 patients each.
Serious indeed.
