1) it's the concentration in short time vs flu spread out . 2) The very high contagiousness with potential long transmission and incubation period without symptoms. That asymptomatic contagiousness is big problem for managing spread. 3) Huge potential pool of victims since SARS CoV2 is new and no one has immunity from prior exposure or vaccine. 4) all that makes for a wave of illness that would overwhelm health care capacity. 5) Lot's of uncertainty as it's new , unknown disease and lack of testing capacity leads to need to slow this pandemic down to give time for study and understanding so better know how to proceed. I had same confusion for while into this. There was not a widely reported explanation. Was long time before I heard it laid out.
mohamed is a class act, one of the best in the business
I still can’t understand the shutdown with such a small death rate (0.01%) from this virus compared to the yearly influenza which is much higher!

So, all leaders are really really stupid or this was all planed for some reason. I have an idea but I will not get into right now.
