Virus outbreaks in the recent past have posed challenges, but the novel coronavirus has an uncommon potential to wreak havoc, an infectious disease expert says.

There has already been rationing of testing in the United States and rationing of critical care resources is likely if severely ill COVID-19 patients surge significantly.
