Yes, although one of the major reasons this new virus is feared is that there are a lot of unknowns about it. Among these are its mode of transmission - it is thought to be transmitted primarily by traces left on smooth surfaces - or maybe by airborne droplets. Another unknown is the reliability of the data on its occurrence in China. In a closed such as this, you never know whether you can trust the data provided.
And certainly, it may be "no more dangerous than any 'flu that's floating around already", but the spectre of 1919 hangs over that statement.
