    Document: Kindler et al. report that HCoV-EMC has faster replication kinetics than SARS-CoV in HAE cells (5) . SARS-CoV has a mean incubation period of about 5 days in humans. This relatively "long" incubation period allowed the identification and isolation of SARS patients before they became highly infectious during the SARS epidemic. If HCoV-EMC has a very efficient replication rate in the upper human respiratory tract, the potential use of quarantine and isolation policy to contain a possible epidemic would be extremely limited.
