Here is further commentary on Saudi SARS again expressing the Saudi opinion that Saudi SARS doesent appear to be spreading from human to human.

But further commentary from the highly respected Michael Osterholm, director of the Centre for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, whose comments also below are in direct conflict with the Saudi assertions.

Of further note is the fact that all the latest cases of Saudi SARS are being reported from just one hospital, so now the question.

Has the hospital got serious infection control problems or are these external cases being bought to the hospital for treatment, and if so from where, and why just the one hospital.

No commentary has ever been made that this hospital is particularly specialized in this type of treatment.

Honestly with all these convoluted arguments at play and the manipulation of information with other possible opportunities to distort the facts, surely it is abundantly clear that there are some really significant attempts to present a picture other that which has really been happening with this coronavirus throughout the Saudi Kingdom.

Ultimately what sits at the bottom af all these matters is the fact that the Saudis have been and continue to play Russian Roulette with the lives of everyone on this planet.

This wont be their problem alone, but it is their sole responsibility, as is what eventually happens with Saudi SARS and how the world ends up being affected by it.

Saudi Deputy Health Minister Ziad Memish announced the two new deaths, and another case of a patient in critical condition with coronavirus, in an email published late on Sunday on the international Promed medical website.

“Transmission seems linked to one [health-care facility]” in the city of Hofuf, in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province, Memish said in the brief email. It stated that no community transmission appeared likely in the latest outbreak, but didn’t clarify or elaborate further on the cases.

“It has to be person to person — I can’t imagine any other way,” said Michael Osterholm, director of the Centre for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota.

“Animal contact doesn’t appear to play a role at all” in the latest cases, he said. Moreover, he said, the length of time between the dates of onset of disease in the 13 people-from April 14 to May 1 — suggests “multiple chains of transmission”.

“This should really cause concern,” he said.
