It’s already everywhere with zero chance of containment.
14 day incubation and heartiness for several days on cold surfaces ensured that.
By the time the 10th person fell ill, it was already out of the bag.
Hope for benign mutations.
True, Did they quarantine the caves where the bats who have the disease are contained?
There's nothing special about that. Hadriness is common feature of those viruses. The question in that case is how easily can you get infected from that contaminated surface, and I don't think that has been answered. Typically it is difficult to get infected that way.
Infectious Disease Ping - Update Wuhan (airborne pneumonia)virus - China & Elsewhere
Caution is advised, especially if traveling, or in confined areas (ie.: airplane).
Avoid large groups. Be aware,.. and take proactive actions.
This is not the time to panic - but to prepare !
Confirmed cases in the US - Texas, Washington State, Chicago and elsewhere.

It is really broad spectrum:
" In this report, we demonstrate for the first time the antiviral potential of ARB against Ebola virus (EBOV), arenaviruses (Tacaribe virus), and herpesviruses (HHV-8). We also confirm ARB antiviral activity against poliovirus and HBV. "
China has this antiviral also, but like Tamiflu, it has to be administered early on, which would be unlikely given the extremely rapid development of symptoms after a fairly long incubation period.
And now, according the Canadian National Lab, patients are contagious up to five days prior to the manifestation of symptoms. Current R0 is between 3.6 and 4.0. On par with Rubella.
So it is interesting to consider the firing of a husband-wife Chinese team of scientist that led Virology at the same lab in March 2019 after they were caught in the smuggling of coronavirus from that same lab to China.
