A new virus generally wins a lot in Round 1 of the fight.

It is the world's job to make sure that Round 2, we're ready for it, and know what to do.

Based on the great concentration of people at the source, China I think is doomed to lose thousands... I am guessing 5000... hopefully I'm wrong, and it's less than 1000, but I think that will be very hard for them.

People in Wuhan will be scared out of their minds. I suppose that if everyone takes precautions (hand sanitizing and face masks), much of that can be curtailed. If you have a person you love infected, you could still take care of them at home, so long as you're careful about it. (Keep them confined to their room, bring them food..., leave it outside the door, tell them when to come out, then sanitize after they go back in.)

The next vital piece of information I'm waiting for, is how long does one generation of the viruses cells live for?

Hand sanitizer wipes out 99.999999% of those cells, and they can't live for too long while not in someone's blood stream.
