Because all viruses aren't the same? I mean what kind of question is that. It's like saying you can survive a bb gun pellet to the head, that means you should be able to survive a shotgun blast.

Millions would be dead. Hospitals would be overrun and many would die due to lack of treatment.

because this virus is brand new, so we don't have any sort of immunity compared to other virus out there. plus other viruses aren't as spreadable as this one... and just to fuck with us just a bit more, this virus can cause just enough damage to human where we have to respect it

Holy fuck. He just asked a question.. whats with the smart asses?

wHaT kInD oF qUeStIoN iS tHAT?

A question that he's asked and has been answered many times over and yet people still act as though they don't get it when they definitely do. They know how this is worse.

But sure, act just the same or even worse than the person you're complaining about.

We'd probably have hit that 80,000 dead milestone a few weeks ago.

It's an uneducated question that's been answered MANY times. And it always seems like people from a certain political party never quite understand the answer...

Because it's a new thing.
-large amounts of misinformation (e.g. Trump, Elon Musk) make people act wrongly, including the braindead idiots who do large high density protests during a pandemic
-the virus is extremely silent. Basically, for up to 1 month you are an infective carrier without any symptoms.
-it's not as deadly as ebola and has very many carriers with invisible symptoms, so it can spread across the world very easily, but the chance of becoming severe/serious/lethal is high enough to kill a lot of people
-there are no immunity, no vaccines, no cures, and no treatments. Basically, if you catch it, all you can do is pray your immunity system can fight it off
-there are still a lot of mysteries about it, for example what exactly it does to us, what lasting damage, whether it can go dormant, whether it mutates enough that we'll be facing it every few months / year
-the people leading the big countries, like China (acted way too late) and USA (did pretty much nothing for more than a month despite knowing it's a threat) are completely worthless and unprepared when it comes to dealing with this kind of threat

Long story short, because it's extremely infective and we can't do anything about it when it comes to prevention, stopping worldwide spread and treatment.
Add to that the anti-vacc and freedom-over-life dumbasses refusing to listen.
