That is not even close to what it is reported to be by the experts. The incubation rate can be as low as 3 - 4 days. It is age dependent. As is the mortality rate (if you're a kid, then you are most likely ok. If you are over 70, then it can be as high as 15%!). You should educate yourself better by going to proper medical sites rather than internet news.

Since we are on the subject, here is an article you should familiarize yourself with ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Head down half way to figure 3. The first dotted line that you see is the low end of H1N1 R0 value. It matches that of normal flu. It maps to an attack rate of ~0.3. On the other hand, at less than double the rate, the midpoint of the R0 estimate for the 1918 Spanish Flu is 2.0 and maps to an attack rate of 0.8. For COVID-19, the attack rate could easily be as high as 0.85.

In other words, if you don't contain it fast and let the genie out of the bottle, you could wipe out a few hundred million people and send a billion or so into hospitals.
