yup but this novel corona virus kills about 50% of people who get it. So far its of interest but no more but given where its is and how likely the authorities are to botch it it may become a very serious concern. add in its epicenter is in jeddah and hadj and it could get nasty fast

high fatality rate but hard to get .

Given the numbers of people that come through the region it would likely be very hard to stop the spread of anything serious - they are not as strict as Europe and Asia are about these things.
