It appears this strain is only serious if you catch it from patient zero or another victim close to him/her in the chain. It rapidly loses its potency as it transfers from host to host.

This is going to have been an invaluable world-scale test of the mechanisms designed to cope with a pandemic but it doesn't look to me as if we're facing a global medical armageddon this time.
