ok? Then do everything you normally would to avoid the flu.

There is no difference.

At this point the amount of evidence showing this is different than the flu is so overwhelming that you're either grossly misinformed (likely) or being disingenuous (less likely).
Do nothing different despite the risk of death being 100x higher? Does that really sound logical to you?
where are you getting that preposterous number from?
From the WHO and the CDC. The WHO released the figure 3.4% yesterday, and the CDC lists the flu this season as causing 18000 deaths in the US from 32 million infections = 0.05%.
