Since I've observed how strong the international health community responded to the Ebola epidemic of 2014/15 in Western Africa, I'm convinced that we will also contain this outbreak with a concerted effort, as nCoV is not even quite as threatening and deadly as EVD.

isn’t this (R0 ~4??) much more contagious than Ebola (~R0 ~2?)? and less lethal, so, much easier to spread, and spread further and more complex to test for and screen (incubation period 1-24 or even 28 days, 1/2 of transmissions during asymptomatic) prob not containable anymore
