The big issue right now is that the data suggests that 15% of people over 80 and 7% of people over 70 could die from this. If it turns out that those numbers are incorrect or that a medical treatment or preventative measure is discovered which drastically changes those numbers we could see a huge reversal of behavior. If the numbers get close to flu numbers people will want to know why we don't shut the economy down every year for the flu.
