Hadj season is also upon us...millions all over the world traveling to Mecca and then back to their homes in various parts of the world. It looks like MERS has become much more transmissible from human to human. I wonder if we are seeing the opening shot of the first truly massive plague since the dark ages!
The outbreak is in the oil rig area and a lot of the nurses etc. are Filippino. Haj is September...but the disease is already spreading when Saudi’s many overseas workers visit home...
