The mortality rate is waaaaaaaaay off right now.
The only people getting tested are people who are being hospitalized for it or direct contact with those people.
The fact the mortality rate is only 3% among those who are actually hospitalized for it, tells me it's basically the regular flu.

This seems to be accurate. There are probably far more people infected than we know so the denominator is way understated. The mortality will be higher than flu in some populations but not Captain Trips by any measure. Kids seem relatively unaffected and it’s only deadly to older folks with preexisting health issues.
However, this will still be very disruptive due to the number of people that will get it and the publicity it will get. We’re basically quarantining people for something that isn’t that bad for healthy people. I would expect overreaction, schools closing and other measures for something that 50 yrs ago would’ve probably been considered a really bad flu season.
