Shit ain't hitting until like 5-10 days later which is the scary part as you could be fine crossing the checkpoints.

That was based on previous history of illness like Sars. There's so much we don't know about this one yet. But yeah, if its true that it's contagious while someone's asymptomatic, the next step is going to be straight up quarantines of people that have been in affected areas, or direct contact with known patients. They're going to need to figure out the incubation period quickly. When the first name or quarantines start, they're going to use 2weeks as a minimum I think, until there's better data.
