Expert: MERS cases in U.S. likely to rise, S.C. prepared
Health officials still believe the risk to the general public remains low with 3 people testing positive here in the U.S. But as people gear up for a heavy travel season, Dr. Timothy West, Chief of Infection Prevention at Roper St. Francis Hospital, says the numbers will likely go up in the states. "I think the way its expanding right not in the Arabian peninsula I think we will see an increasing about of MERS in the U.S. and across the globe," West said.

Huh? Who are the idiots who write this stuff?

I suspect the doc said “now” and not “not”. Should be “it’s” and not “its”. For “an increasing about” I am not sure, but I am thinking he may have said “bout” rather than “about”. Some commas would have helped, too.

I suppose that it ultimately translates to, “We’re all gonna die!”

I contacted one of my friendly TN State REPS, he said warnings have gone out to ALL TN hospitals on MERS. And these idiots are not taking it serious?

There are a lot of sick people in nursing homes, that have breathings issues, that MERS would be deadly to. DUMB AND DUMBER!

DO NOT TOUCH READING MATERIAL IN A DOCTORS OFFICE or Hospital, IT CONTAINS GERMS AND VIRUSES FROM THE LAST PERSON WHO USED IT, MANY LAST ON THE SURFACE FOR DAYS. DITTO GOES FOR WHERE YOU SET YOUR PURSE OR COMPUTER CASE. MOVE IF THE PERSON NEXT TO YOU IS COUGHING! They should be wearing a mask! And should be to to do so by the person behind the desk, and have them on hand to provide it.
