Multi millions have likely had it and not known it, multi millions have had it and shown no more symptoms than a common cold, multi millions have had it and thought was just the regular flu. With North America suddenly being able to test multi millions for this specific virus is it any wonder there are suddenly thousands of more cases?
So far in North America the survival rate exceeds %98 with no more lasting effects than the normal flu.
So far the wuhan flu is very very slow to mutate, which means it's very easy for the general population to develop a resistance to it. The only way to do that is to be exposed, either by getting the flu or by getting a vaccine. Having a vaccine ready for the approximately 340,000,000 Americans isn't going to happen any time soon. It usually takes six months to grow half that.
the most recent numbers from Johns Hopkins(updated daily):
Infections:
wuhan flu:
worldwide: 1,131,713
U.S.: 278,458
regular flu:
worldwide: est. 1,000,000,000
U.S.: 10M to 45M per year
Deaths:
wuhan flu:
worldwide: 59,884*
U.S.: 7,159
regular flu:
worldwide: 300,000-650,000 anually
U.S.: 12,000-61,000 anually
* China still claims about 3500 dead in the hubei provence which we all know is a lie
based on those numbers, which one is the pandemic??? Yet if you listen to the democrat run(provable fact) press that hates the trump adminstation, we are all going to die in a couple days from the wuhan flu if we so much as stand within 2 feet of another person. This same press has been using the model for infections and deaths developed by scientist Neil Furguson. His model has been proven to be well overstated, i.e. wrong. He's already been forced to lower his death prediction in England from 500,000 to 20,000. That's a hell of an adjustment, and still very likely to be high.
A couple years ago I told my doctor why I don't get a flu vaccine, she had no response. Am I concerned about the wuhan flu? Yes, but no more that the regular flu.
and saying no is not the same as wishing for it to happen
I'm beginning to suspect something

The biggest difference in comparing this virus to the flu is that these numbers for this virus are from such a short period of time and when extreme precautions have been taken. I think 278,000 infected in the past month is a pretty high number. Where would those numbers be if no precautions were taken?
Like you I don't get a flu shot either. Never have. For some unknown reason I never get the flu. I haven't really had any kind of illness in several years. My wife on the other hand gets a flu shot every year and still gets sick.
I'm just wondering why the world is taking this virus so serious compared to others. Is there something about this virus they aren't telling us.

you don’t seem to be absorbing everything I’ve written. We are suddenly, as in the last month, able to specifically test for the wuhan flu in mass numbers. Grade school statistics should tell you that we will get a sudden increase in confirmed infections.
When you look at everything else that kills humans in great numbers, this wuhan flu hardly fits the definition of pandemic. A vast majority of the problem is the media hype.
