What I find truly interesting is that Nova Scotia has cases. That means it's probably hitting the shipping, in which case, there won't be a safe area.

What's the incubation period and how easily is it transmitted? I mean if someone carries it for a few days or a week before showing any symptoms, it could be a serious "The Stand" type disease in a matter of months possibly as little as weeks... if the incubation period is a day or 2 and it's transmitted through bodily fluids such as a sneeze or cough, it could be contained and over soon not affecting that many.

Most likely source of the Nova Scotia cases are tourists who returned from Mexico. Same with NZ.
