MERS CoV Still Spreading In Saudi Arabia |
From
Patricia Doyle |
| Hello Jeff - I would be remiss if I did not mention Mers CoV. It
is not unthinkable to hear of cases of Mers CoV showing up in refugees in
the West. We must be vigilant. Newest numbers are 1542 lab confirmed cases and 641 deaths a case fatality rate of 41.6%…which is very, very high. There have been 894 recoveries and there are 8 currently active cases. It may not be a ravaging outbreak but it is still a disease that we do not need in the West among muslms 'migrants'.
