It literally is the common cold. Not even an especially nasty strain.

Around 60,000 die to the flu. Every year. In the US alone. And nobody cares. Because most deaths are old people, or people who are in very poor health for other reasons. Same as this thing.

If you're under 50 and otherwise healthy, the chances of dying are practically zero. Children just get the sniffles for a while. Same for most young adults.
