the virus immobilizes and kills too fast to pose a serious pandemic threat. The patient can only infect others when they start to have symptoms(incubation period of 2-21 days, 5 days average). By then, you'd feel like death and wouldn't be able to move too far to spread it. Now if someone boarded a plane while symptomatic and sick, infected 200-300 people, and the virus mutated to be able to infect through airborne non-symptomatic means, then I would be really scared.
