>What do you guys think?
It's a molehill-based mountain.
>Still, it being on the news and all and WHO declaring it a pandemic it is getting scary.
The Common Cold is on the news every Flu Season and it's technically a pandemic. Do you also fear it?
>Not many have died but the mortality rate is higher than the flu.
The species of Coronavirus most commonly associated with the 'flu' have a mortality rate of ~1% (1). Even if the Wuflu mutation tripled that potential - present educated estimates are at ~2.5% mortality (2) - it's hardly a threat to any reasonably healthy individual.

>Do you think perhaps this is a judgment?
I think it's a joke. It's a continual source of amusement as the needlessly fearful masses do increasingly illogical things, like hoard antibiotics and fabric masks (neither of which work on a virus).
