since it's not happening to you or anyone you know, screw it right?

Do you seriously plan to wear a mask for the rest of your life?
99.6%+ of the infected people recover. (And that number continues to go up)
The "96%" (wherever that number came from....) "live in fear" because the media stirs up fear and panic then everyone feeds off it. If you are susceptible to pneumonia than you should take precautions. If you have pre-existing conditions that would be aggravated by the flu you should take precautions.
Other than that, if you contract the virus, you have "flu like" symptoms IF you have anything at all.
Further, even with a vaccine, 61,000 died from the flu in the US during the 2017-2018.
Here is a new flu-like virus and we are at 149K. Not great numbers, but definitely not the millions they said it would be.
Also, everyone will eventually get this. No matter how careful you are you will get it. It's similar to the flu in transmission and symptoms.
