Officials take back report of MERS spread in US-WATCH OUT-SUPER SIX


 

  • Health officials on Wednesday backtracked on an earlier report that a mysterious Middle East virus had apparently spread from one person to another in the United States

  • This month, a doctor who traveled from Saudi Arabia to Indiana was identified as the first U.S. case of Middle East respiratory syndrome, or MERS

  • They had believed the virus must have spread from the Indiana man to the Illinois man during a business meeting that involved no closer contact than a handshake

  • MERS has sickened more than 600, mostly, in the Middle East, and killed more than 175. The MERS germ belongs to the coronavirus family that includes the common cold and SARS, which caused some 800 deaths in 2003

 

Have you heard of this sickness? How can we stop the spread now that it is present in the US? Do you know anybody with this disease?

I haven't heard of this disease and i don't know of anyone that has it. We can stop the spread of this disease by containing it and trying to cure the people who are already infected.

I have never heard of this disease. We should clean our hands often and carry hand sanitizer

I have not heard of this disease and do not know anyone with this disease. We should work to provide vaccine's for people before this cheese gets out of hand.

I have never heard of this disease and i don't know anyone with it either. We can prevent it from spreading by constantly washing our hands and using hand sanitizer and we can try to cure the people that already have it.

Yes I have heard much about this disease however I am not sure what can be done to rid of it. Perhaps some sort of vaccination would work, but I am no doctor so what do i know. No i do not know of anyone who has this disease.

I have not heard of this disease, but scientists should definitely be researching this considering the high fatality rate.

I have never heard of this disease. i think it should be taken care of. Infected should be quarantined to stop the spread. better safe than sorry.

I haven't heard of this disease until now. I think this should not be taken lightly though.

I did a report on this isease a while back! I think it's awful that it's spreading to the US. If a vaccine cannot be develpoped then we will have to quarantined the infected to prevent spreading of the illness.

I havent heard of it at all, but i think we need to get on it immediately. Diseases can mutate really fast and i dont want it becoming huge. Stuff like this is freaky.
