US health officials confirmed a second case Mers virus in the country after one in the state of Florida was diagnosed positive for the virus that has so far killed more than 100 people in Saudi Arabia.
The American government is very afraid because of the outbreak could have been transmitted back and forth from citizens who fly to Saudi Arabia. Affairs may travel or business meetings. In essence, this mers virus has a very great infectiousness. In a day could be 10 people infected. And if it can not be saved, lives will be floated.
The first patient infected with the virus mers were Americans, a medic who live and work in Saudi Arabia. He travels from Jeddah to London, England, on May 1 before continuing the trip to the United States. And what happened? He felt no strangeness in this body.
He was in Florida to visit his family and was treated at a local hospital since 8 May.Last week the United States announced the first case mers, ie a medical officer who traveled to Riyadh in late April. America was devastated and worried about outbreaks mers can occur such as in Saudi Arabia that killed 100 people with a terrible mortality rate.
The first patients were considered to have "fully recovered" and was released from hospital on Saturday (10/05).
Mers virus or the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome has killed more than 100 in Saudi Arabia. This virus first appeared in Saudi Arabia in 2012 and recent research indicates that the possible origin of the camel.
Why camels? Do not ask, because I do not know. Camels are infected with the virus can infect humans mers healthy. And through the air, this virus will be inhaled into the human respiratory healthy to get into the respiratory system.
The Saudi Arabian government has issued a warning to the public to be wary of contact with camels.
The Ministry of Agriculture also urged people not to come into contact with camels unless absolutely necessary. Because camels in Saudi Arabia are being sterilized to be free from the virus this mers.
SOUTH KOREA ATTACKED also VIRUS Mers
Not just in America, Outbreak mers in South Korea more rampant by the day. Until now, there have been 2300 people quarantined, and a state of emergency-related cases this Mers. This is due to the Saudi Arabian camels infected with the virus mers. Plague that attacks the respiratory system this was not only attacking civilians, but also attacked the air force. The air force attacked a Korean air force bases in the United States in South Korea.
As reported by CNN, the current sergeant diagnosed Mers virus has been admitted to hospital, where the first patient was treated Mers South Korea. The first case was attacking a 68-year-old woman infected after coming home from the four countries in the Middle East.
Mers is a disease caused by a virus. The virus is one family with the corona, which is the same as the SARS virus and attack the respiratory system or breathing.
Unique indeed, this virus has a great attack power, because one battalion Korean forces only loss as a result of this dangerous virus infection, especially we were not military force.
