New study gives R0 of 2.2 (previous data suggests that it has come down from a possible high of nearly 4). This is more comparable now with SARS. So the question is, has the virus become less infectious over time or have the quaratine measures worked to some degree. We do know China's response is vastly superior to how it was with SARS.
The incubation period is reported to also be 5 days in this new study. That is very bad and cause for serious concern. Though I'd expect even though you can be contageous during the asymptomatic period you are probably less infectious.
