I think the flu out of Wuhan would have to mutate to become seriously bad news.
If we want something to worry about then the seasonal flu that we already have is quite scary enough. Public Health England report on it every year. Here's the latest one
Surveillance_of_influenza. Last year we got away without a serious outbreak. But Table 7 in the PHE report says that in 2017/18 'ordinary' flu killed 26,000 people in the UK alone. In 2016/17 it was 18,000. In 2015/16 it was 12,000. In 2014/15 it was 28,000. So far the corona virus has killed a few hundred people.
Maybe we* should be disinfecting our Farnell deliveries ? Mine can be here inside 24 hours and it's possible for flu viruses to survive that long outside the human body.
