7. It isn't just that it's rare

It's that it's harder to spread and less likely to need large numbers of rapid tests. Serological testing is the norm and should be sufficient unless something has changed (i.e., mutation)

It's a dramatically scarier virus, but also far easier to manage. There are a few hundreds of people with reason to be concerned and it may take a month for clarity... but there isn't any reason to think we're watching the early stages of a new pandemic.
