Read that earlier. He had been in Saudi Arabia. He's recovered and so far, contacts he made have shown negative.

CNN now reporting that the second case is also a health care worker who had recently been in Saudi.
So thankfully it still seems to be limited to close contact and for the most part only in those limited countries.

No, AIDS is homophobic. Sickle cell is racist.

It's interesting how names for new viruses come about. First there was SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) and now MERS. Hope it stays a deep-lung virus. Could be trouble if it mutates.
