"When the Black Death exploded in Arabia in the 14th century, killing an estimated third of the population, it spread across the Islamic world via infected religious pilgrims."
There's a bright side to every story, I guess.

Has the State Dept already begun seeking out
those infected ... to bring in as nurses and
caretakers at US hospitals?

I don’t know, but I’m sure Bill Gates is interested in such an idea.

Aw, heck. There goes the vacation to Mecca I was planning.

Like Islam isn't a plague all by itself....
To: LibWhacker
Did Mohammed sell trinkets or something in Mecca under another name?

The known mortality rates at the outset of a novel disease are always stated to be absurdly high. This is simply because no one knows how many people have actually been infected. The large majority of those infected will never go to the hospital and are certainly not in any early statistics.
Consider the very high mortality rates in early reports during the 2009 H1N1 “pandemic”. After the disease had run its course it was found that the mortality rate was 0.03%.
