from what I understand, the incubation period is quite a few days. That alone means that by the time it was really found the cat was out of the bag.

As someone who had a norovirus episode last November, I'm concerned, but I feel like we need to exercise caution to avoid mass hysteria. Right now, the death toll vs. total cases is around 1.2% (or 121 fatalities for 8070 confirmed cases), which is a concerning number regardless, but we're not going to reach pandemic levels yet.

Didn't SARS and Bird Flu also come from China? Get your shit together, China.

Not to breach any rules; but you'd think a nation as large and wealthy as China would be spending quite a bit of money on their medical industry to make sure that shit like this doesn't happen??

This is what's genuinely worrying me about this virus, it's a new thing, right, like, we're just hearing about it, and yet we're hearing cases of it coming from all over, like France is the one that worries me because if it got from China to France, then it can get from France to England, which is where I live?? How did it spread so quickly?? Then again, that is kind of what Viruses are known for?

IIRC the genome for this virus has already been mapped out or it will be very soon. A bunch of teams across the world are already working on vaccines.
