“...the virus is infectious during incubation, which was not the case with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), a coronavirus that originated in China and killed nearly 800 people globally in 2002 and 2003.”
Yeah, that’s going to be ugly.
the Virus has an R-0 of 2.5 with a 95% confidence (1.4-3.8), with confirmed asymptomatic cases and I believe confirmed asymptomatic transmission. One notable case was a 10 year old with walking pneumonia.
With no built in immunity (due to this being a corona virus) it’s worse than Spanish Influenza.
