Only MERS doesn't spread very well, and so it would actually have to be some kind of hybrid mutant for that to happen.

Yeah but SARS did spread well. And as you imply, MERS can mutate. As bad as this could still get, it could always have been worse. SARS and MERS are coronaviruses.

There has been, and still is, a large amount of complacency. It's kind of like when the sea rushed out before the Indian Ocean tsunami arrived. People were curious and walked out onto the exposed shore. Now everyone knows to run for the hills. It took that event for people to understand the threat en masse. This pandemic will serve as the one that taught us not to be so complacent. Next time there's an outbreak in China, I guarantee that everyone buys a 24 pack of bog roll.
