I'm an infectious disease epidemiologist who has worked on Ebola and MERS (along with some other stuff). I'd peg it, right now, at SARS-levels of bad. Most early modeling estimates, from people who know their stuff, are estimating the number of infections at a few thousand. Bad in China, likely sporadic outbreaks elsewhere due to infection control failures treating hospitalized patients (i.e. the South Korean MERS cases).
