Going strictly by the data, hell no, it won't. Past performance is the best indicator of future results, and up to now, it has been a big nothing - compared to flu, compared to past "outbreaks", compared to some people's expectations.

As a precaution, don't go out, especially if you need to drive, as 39,000 or so die from that in a year - more than 100 per day.
