A very intelligent and well rounded report, I think.

A mysterious form of highly infectious and deadly pneumonia has been spreading rapidly across Asia and has been spotted in Canada, prompting the World Health Organization (WHO) to issue an unusual global alert.

The disease triggers flu-like symptoms such as high fever, coughing and shortness of breath, but it hasn't been responding to either antibiotics or antivirals.

Experts say that it could take weeks to determine the cause of the outbreak, which they speculate is an exotic virus that has mutated into a new, more potent form or--in the worst-case scenario--a new form of influenza.


However, medical experts said that the spread of the disease is not as aggressive as most forms of influenza.
