@CDCgov @thespybrief I spent years developing an #Ebola treatment. Experts are concerned about this #coronovirus, because it's VERY contagious and appears to cause severe disease. Reports from #China a lagging indicators: the virus is spreading quickly, and people are still hospitalized/critical.
@CDCgov @thespybrief Expect this "Novel #coronavirus" to be named soon (perhaps #Wuhan-Cov?). Other recent #coronavirus outbreaks were caused by SARS, MERS-CoV.

@CDCgov @thespybrief @WHO Don't be fooled by the current case-fatality rate (# of deaths/# infected). This is extremely likely to rise, because people are sick for days/weeks before succumbing (even if no NEW cases occur).
