Here are the actual live statistics. Indeed the real big issue is how fast it spreads, thanks to a better understanding, higher vigilance and better initial status of the patients health both critical cases and deaths are going down, yet still they account at least 6% of the "closed" cases and that is a lot, that is way higher than the flu and you can see the number also on Italy.
Don't panic tho.
If a sickness spreads fast enough through a population and requires intensive care it can collapse your health care system, that's what epidemiologist are following closely, this isn't the end of the world but if not dealt with properly its consequences can be way worse than "just a flu" due to the high potential patients in a short period of time since hospital beds are a precious limited commodity.
Now again, do not panic, take precautions, wash your hands often, don't buy facemasks, leave them for your health care professionals, if you have the symptoms go get checked, a day missed confirming just a flu is better than being a carrier in this case.
