The fact that one person infected 14 doctors/nurses alone suggests this is HIGHLY contagious

I guess the virus belongs to the same class as the common cold so I assume it must be pretty damn contagious. One source is saying that by the 25th or 26th the numbers of obviously infected will explode. Video of the hospital in Wuhan shows the halls packed with people and another shows a victim who had collapsed on the street looking pretty much toasted. Another shows fighting going on in a food market as people scramble to stockpile grub. That's some scary stuff.
