No. Among other things, it requires hospitalization much more than the flu does. And, we have hospital beds to handle the flu, but not to handle a surge of Covid-19 cases.

I'm not poo pooing the panic, like Musk. But I'm saying people should educate themselves regarding it. If you're a person like me, in good health and not old, you should not be hoarding supplies that old people may need. It's not a big risk for you and doing that is dickish and dangerous to those at serious risk.
The hoarding is an expression of the desire to take control over a situation in which one lacks control. It's not rational. And I don't understand why people are hoarding toilet paper. It's a respiratory disease, not a lower GI disease.
