Seems like the first indications are coming up that the whole thing has been blown way out of proportion. The newest numbers apparently are 26 confirmed cases in total, and 7 deaths. With 2500 suspected cases (and the WHO estimate of the real number of cases ten times that high), it's no more lethal than any other flu.
It's simply too early still to really call the numbers on it, and the rate of infection is going to matter. But from the looks of it, it's way too early to panic.
