Means, Motive and Opportunity

Who stood to gain by panicking the nation & shutting down our entire economy, over an epidemic that will likely kill fewer Americans than the ‘regular old flu’? [More]
No one you'll be able to take it out on, that's for sure.

One valid point I’ve seen made is that it’s unreasonable to draw any inferences from a comparison of ANNUAL infection and death statistics of any common flu, and statistcs for this flu which is in the USA not even two months yet.

There is a very good (and hopeful) infographic here capsulizing what we know from the statistics so far:
