By all indications, this is a relatively mild virus.  Canada has already said that we don't intend to declare a public health emergency...mainly because there isn't one.

Air Canada stopped flying to China, btw, because people were cancelling their tickets over the virus out of fear and caution. Flights were leaving with 40-50 people in the last few days.  This decision was made over a lack of revenue generation.
Caution that the government doesn’t seem to share. If this thing starts to run away, it will be too late to change tactics. Fortunately, other countries are not being so complacent and will probably limit the spread for us.
