9. 20 confirmed cases spread out is nothing to scoff about really
Its more than SARS already. How many unconfirmed cases? How many people were in contact with them during incubation? Do you realize if each of those 20 spread it to just 5 people a day (before diagnoses), who in turn did the same, that we would have a serious issue on our hands?

Look, I have no idea. But going on confirmed cases with a virus in the early stages isn't the best way to gauge.

The media freaks out about EVERYTHING. Its common place. Some are warranted, and some aren't. But just because a little boy is crying wolf doesn't imply that there is none.
