If you look at the daily numbers, it has been doubling almost every two days. No reason to panic, but certainly no reason to ignore it or not take it seriously.
“213 deaths 9692 cases” for Coronavirus”.
And seasonal flu...
”So far, 8,200 people have died and 140,000 people have been hospitalized during the 2019-2020 flu season, according to preliminary estimates from the CDC.” Abcnews

Yes the new Chinese virus sounds nasty and highly contagious, but this BS about touching door knobs could kill you is absurd. I’m more worried about seasonal flu than this Wuhan stuff at the moment. That’s just me and I’ve been known to be very wrong on many occasions though.
