Is a New SARS-like Virus Spreading in the Middle East?


As with most emerging epidemics, we usually ignore them until people start dying. If the same logic applies here, it?s time to begin paying attention to the new SARS-like virus found in Saudi Arabia and Qatar. While only six cases have been identified so far, two of the patients died, suggesting that the survival rate isn?t stellar.

Seems some writers can't resist a provocative title to call attention to themselves.
