Some people watch way to much news.

It's not worth "losing it" over, but it could be a MAJOR blow to the world economy if it keeps spreading. I have a trip to Italy planned for this summer, for example, and it's remotely possible that many of the tourists sites could be shut down by then in order to try and contain this thing.
On a more local level, it's possible that businesses will have to deal with big chunks of their workforce being sick at the same time. Deadlines will slip, and things just won't get done.
And on top of that, a small percentage of people will probably die from it. Will it be worse than a bad flu season? Tough to say. But it certainly doesn't seem to be slowing down any time soon.
