You're missing the point here. This is a new virus and there is no immunity to it for anyone. And it's contagious for an average 5 days before symptoms, that is how it managed to spread so fast. Not only that, it is quite a bit more lethal than a "flu virus".

Once there is a vaccine and everyone gets it, then you can brag about your immune system. In the meantime, don't underestimate the lethality. See: Italy, Spain, NYC.
