UPMC: MERS-CoV Webcast With Dr. Ziad Memish





# 7590

Earlier today Dr. Ziad Memish ? Deputy Minister of Health for Saudi Arabia - appeared in a 2-hour webcast along with Dr. Tom Inglesby - Director of the UPMC Center for Health Security ? to discuss his insights from being on the frontlines with the emerging MERS coronavirus.

The webcast is now available on the UPMC Health Security.org website and on Youtube, and is very much worth your time to watch.

Well worth my time, excellent presentation.


..so much is done behind the publics eye in ways in which if you weren't there, you would have no idea of the amount of response that occurs..

Both KSA and China have gone far and beyond, and I commend both on their emergency response and international transparency!

(I loved the comment on the documentation of the Dialysis Nurses in the Al-Ahsa outbreak.. Well done Nurses!)

I thought it was a very good use of social media to deliver disease information.

However, I do not personally think that the governments of Saudi Arabia and China (along with most governments) practice full disclosure about disease status.

I think the human case profiles could be more through without violating any patient's right to privacy and I think the animal investigations into the new novel coronavirus and H7N9, respectively, are lacking.

We still do not know with any certainty how humans are becoming sick - except from each other.
