Great...Dallas is boned.
I can’t seem to find (unless it was at the freeper links) if the virus is like a bad flu or what. Do people die of it inevitably? Or just old and sick? Wonder.
MERS ping.
So is Houston :(
Just found this:
2 hospital workers test negative for MERS virus, more tests underway
If it’s like the Spanish Flu the highest mortality was among young and somewhat older adults who had strong immune systems. Those that died drowned or suffocated due to a cytokine storm. Their immune system over reacted to the influenza virus. The young and the elderly without strong immune systems had a lower mortality rate.
No need to drink camel p*ss to get MER, when an Arab will do it for you.

Eat more vitamin C. I don’t get the flu or colds anymore because I take 2,000 - 3,000mg of it a day.
