Ah yes, the MERS strain.
It’s different than the Wuhan strain, and could be more, or less deadly. We don’t know.
We don’t know its origin and with 14 day incubation we don’t yet know for sure just how deadly it is.
What we do know is that China’s first BSL-4 facility is in Wuhan and its purpose is to study zoonotic pathogens.
And we know the Chinese government is taking such extraordinary steps at containment that the world has never seen. And we know all the med people are wearing Level 4 bio hazard suits.
OK, it’s the SARs strain. Found a 2013 report of 5-7% mortality.
Then why the blazes is China in a panic and countries around the world are banning flights? It’s second only to the Impeachment over on CNN’s page.
