Well, 2 of 3 criteria you mentioned are not in effect yet...”level of contagiousness”, is TBD and death rate is running less than SARS right now (like 8%, mostly males with pre-existing conditions), and yes it is spreading to other countries.

Mostly people with pre existing conditions, thats similar to regular flu. Strange thing about the Spanish Flu, it took a high percentage of healthy 20-40 year olds.
