Fast quarantine for example is one big difference. People with symptoms that could be Corona related going to hospitals is another big difference. Tests being developed. Hospitals being on alert. But believe whatever you want.

That certainly helped with SARS. But nCov appears to be transmissible at the time symptoms appear or even earlier. That is a big difference from SARS and makes self-isolation and quarantine significantly less effective.

So we went from "no difference at all" to "the differences won't matter". If want to panic, do it. But please don't spread it, online or offline. Already too many people are doing just that.
