Saudi SARS...

Thats right.

I am giving this coronavirus a name one that hopefully will inflict shame on the Saudi Arabian Authorities for their complicit and underhanded activities with this horrendously dangerous potential pandemic coronavirus.

So, I repeat the term again, just so everyone gets a good hold on it.

Its called...Saudi SARS

go it...

Saudi SARS.

And once again...

SAUDI SARS.

reports finally managed to get air time in the more independant and credible AlJaseera news when its activity was eventually made public.

One wonders what those idiots responsible for this censorship will have to say when it becomes known that their actions were the direct result of this coronavirus becoming a widespread and deadly killer should that eventuate.

It certainly wont be through good management if it doesent go pandemic.

It will be the result of pure good luck and have nothing to do with good basic medical practice.

I honestly hope that the muslim community spread serious messages of caution to all muslims that it might be of utmost importance for them to delay any plans for a pilgrimage to Mecca until the full extent of the dangers in the region become known.

It would be a tradgedy of unimaginable proportions for unnessary risks to be taken with any human lives simply because some missguided fools made a bad judgement call as is the current situation.

No religion demands that its followers take unnessary and deadly risks with either their own lives nor those close to them.

I do hope that this message is taken in the spirit of genuine concern for the complete welfare of all people.

I do not discriminate on religous beliefs, all men are equal, and as adults, the choices they make are theirs to freely make.

I only ever ask that those choices are made with the best information available.

Saudi Arabia's health ministry has said that five Saudis have died from a new SARS-like virus and that two more are being treated in an intensive care unit.

In a statement cited by the Saudi SPA agency late on Wednesday, the ministry said that all the deaths occurred in the Ahsaa province in the oil-rich eastern region of the kingdom, according to the AFP news agency.

Known as novel coronavirus or hCoV-EMC, the virus was first detected in mid-2012 and is a cousin of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), which triggered a scare 10 years ago when it erupted in east Asia, leaping to humans from animal hosts.
