if it's a 10% death rate and you can catch it 5-6 times that gets a LOT scarier.

People seem to develop an immunity but they aren't sure. The problem is that the virus is mutating like influenza or aids. So what happens when your body gets infected with a mutated and deadlier strain? And a vaccine might be very difficult if not impossible to make. If we are lucky and they do find a vaccine, it's going to take at least 5 years before it's available.
It's not spreading as fast as the flu, but with a 10% mortality rate it is extremely high for a contagious disease.
