Incubation period and lethality are usually correlated, afaict.

Or, imagine a HIV-esque virus. Super long incubation period, lethal in that it attacks your immune system, and super different than anything we've seen before to effectively find a cure or a vaccine faster than usual.

Now imagine if such a virus was airborne and was already spreading... Who'd know?
