According to a Johns Hopkins Study symptoms from COVID-19 show up in about 5 days from exposure.  This is very helpful given the prior guidance was much longer (as much as 28 days but generally accepted to be around 14).  Will reduce the length of time people need to be quarantined if exposure is suspected.  Also looks like the number of cases are leveling out in China (assuming you believe what they are saying....which as a rule I usually don't).  And finally, the mortality rate appears to be dropping I believe primarily because the number of reported cases is up due to more testing for this particular strand.  Would not surprise me in the least if by the end of the flu season we see the mortality rate for COVID-19 to be comparable to the flu for children and healthy adults and a little higher for seasoned citizens with other health issues.
