Of course the media is blowing it out of proportion, but it's still a serious situation. COVID-19 is several times more deadly than the flu, but not massively so (it's not ebola or anything).

That being said, the biggest issue with COVID-19 is that it's highly transmissible, is able to overrun the hospitals with patients they can't keep up with, and its a new disease so it has the capacity to infect way more people than any given flu during flu season.

So not a hoax, but also not as big a deal as the media made it out to be, and now that we're past the issue of hospitals being overrun we can and should start opening up again soon.
