“I am getting more optimistic—but let’s see how the cruise ship and a few of the Asian countries that aren’t China turn out.”

Cruise ship in Japan just had 70 more people tested positive with the virus. Bring the number infected on that one cruise ship 298.

Yes—but so far I believe the fatality rate is non-existent.

I’d much rather have it spread much faster than anticipated initially but not be very lethal than have it spread slightly slower and kill at an above-advertised rate.

2% is in fact pretty bad, and if it is closer to 20% and people don’t gain immunity from having it, we would be looking at the worst thing since the Black Death.
