MERS -- South Korea
Having a longer incubation period -- the time from virus exposure to disease -- was tied to a lower risk of death in MERS-CoV patients in South Korea, according to a study yesterday [1 Dec 2015] in [the journal] Emerging Infectious Diseases [see reference below].
French and Hong Kong researchers analyzed data on 170 cases of MERS-CoV (Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus) infection, of which exposure data were available for 109.
They found that the incubation period was 6.4 days
