The World Health Organization is asking health workers around the world to be on alert for symptoms of the deadly Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) coronavirus.
Monday's warning came as WHO officials ended a six-day investigation in Saudi Arabia, where 40 of the 55 cases of the respiratory disease have occurred. Sixty percent of those people with known infections died.
The United Nations agency is concerned that the MERS virus might spread among pilgrims expected to visit holy sites in Saudi Arabia next month during Ramadan, or the millions more expected in October for the annual Hajj to Mecca.
Officials are also worried that guest workers in the kingdom could carry the virus home to other countries, possibly causing a global pandemic.
Travelers have carried the virus to Britain, France, Germany and Italy. Infected people have also been found in Jordan, Qatar, Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates.
The only safe place is Japan...
What a nasty bunch.
Inshala. So bad. So Sad. So what?
Because the virus won’t stop at Muslims.
Looks like we’ll have to ‘socially distance’ from Muslims.
Hey I do that already!
Islam is the primary virus. There is not a new virus, infecting haji’s. This is a UN propaganda excuse to actually fund the muslim trek to the rock. It happens every year.
This is why the amnesty bill working its way through Congress must be killed. Everybody is focusing their attention on the dirt-poor Mexican peasants jumping the fence in search of a better life. But if this amnesty bill passes, they’ll be flooding into the United States from all over the world. Especially the Middle East, because Obama has already made it be known that they will get preferential treatment.
Because Obama wants to import Syrians here by the thousands.
Like letting infected rats into a village.
A virus infecting a virus.....funny
Lets invite thousands of people from the middle east (syria) to come live here. What could possibly go wrong?

See, there's a reason to be Islamophobic.
No doubt the infidel scientists have created a virus to kill all muzzlems.
FWIW the MERS-CoV appears to have origins and persistence in Jordan.

This one is worth watching.
Paging Captain Trips ...
M.O.O.N. that spells SCARY.
Cue intro from HBO series ‘True Blood’ for surreal effect and general uneasiness.
