somewhere between 2.2~(3 | 4 ?), one thing though, unlike SARS, WARS(nCoV) is already contagious during incubation period(14 days) and even before any symptoms cough/fever shows up, this SUPER complicates any measure to quarantine it

Just a heads-up, the WHO discourages geographic labels for diseases. Those labels may be totally orthogonal to the disease itself (as is the case with Spanish Flu), they punish localities for outbreak of (or association with) disease, and the fear of stigma could impact local officials' decisions about reporting outbreaks and seeking help from disease experts.

I’ll stop calling this WARS when they stop saying MERS.
