Ironically, part of what has allowed the virus to spread so fast is that not everyone gets sick.  With SARS and Ebola, it’s easy to identify and quarantine the exposed, because almost no one is spreading the virus undetected.  With COVID-19, not only do you have folks who are asymptomatic, you have a large group of folks (particularly young ones) whose symptoms are so nondescript as to be camouflaged.  That makes it worse, in many ways, than diseases that cause more severe symptoms and have a higher mortality.
