And that it lingers on surfaces longer than the flu virus.
And corona does a number on your lungs which is mostly unreversible.
Most of the 20 million Americans who come down with fly each season experience mild symptoms,
and fatality rate is not high unless you are very young or very old.

Did you see how many people got infected on one cruise ship?
40 American citizens are stranded in quarantine! That is a lot on a short cruise of a few days.
