Although some victims remain stable and others seem to get better for two to three days, they eventually relapse, developing acute respiratory distress. Some need to have a tube inserted in their windpipe to help them breathe.
Among the survivors, "no one has gotten well yet," Dr. Heymann said in an interview with the Times. "It is not clear what is going on, and it is not clear what the extent of spread will be," particularly because "these are areas where there is a lot of international travel," he added.

Guangdong province, which adjoins Hong Kong in China, reported 305 cases by mid-February, including 5 deaths. Hardly universally fatal, especially considering the capability of Chinese hospitals (my wife has toured several).
