The rate of spread and the conflicting information on mortality is disturbing... The rate of spread seems actually quite fantastic, if you look at what happened in Hong Kong. But there may be many more vectors out of Vietnam than this lone patient in Hanoi. The mortality doesn't seem all that high so far. But it's early yet, and as someone pointed out - even a moderate mortality rate in a real pandemic can give horrible results.

On another thread someone mentioned the possibility of 2 cases quarantined in San Francisco. With the incubation 2-7 days, next week will be interesting as the government will be forced to react if this is indeed the danger it appears to be.
