True, but the fact is that the novel coronavirus seems to have a mortality rate around 2% (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/), whereas the current WHO statistics indicate around 50% for ebola (https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/ebola-virus-disease).
So ebola is a lot more likely to kill you, and from a microscopic organism.
Crises need calm heads, not fear-mongering and finger pointing.
