2019-nCoV, the Wuhan Acute Respiratory Syndrome (aka “Whuhan SARS”) is a nasty little bug in how it fast it spreads. SARS and MERS were corralled fairly quickly because they gave themselves away early, and the symptoms of Ebola are impossible to miss.
So, even though it is less deadly, It could end up killing more people than any of those three. Unfortunately, Red China, WHO, CDC and NIH are all still scratching their heads trying to figure out exactly what they are dealing with.

The only questionable thing about the chart, is that you must trust numbers the government of China releases.
Personally, I don’t. My experience is that they lie to look better. They lie to avoid looking bad.
