This is incorrect.

If we assume that this virus is as infectious as the common cold, we can expect the infection rate within a household to be approximately 25% of contacts. That means that of the people you LIVE with, 25% will catch it from you.

50% infection rate in a large, distributed population like China would be very extreme.
