>> New 'Sars-like' coronavirus identified by UK officials

hmmm. this is possibly, not good

ANY REASON WHY THEY ARE TRANSPORTING HIM TO THE UK?

GIVEN INFECTION RISK THEY SHOULD TREAT HIM THERE.

SOMETHING TELLS ME THEY ARE INTENTIONALLY CREATING AND SPREADING INFECTIOUS VIRUSES.

ah, i assumed he had arrived from qatar

perhaps he is british?

the other dude already died whilst being treated in saudi (i think)

He has more chance to be killed by the NHS than sars. Poor chap.

Nasty.


Hey, Strictlyhonest, is the .com going to get back online?

yep, true

its just the second popped up on sky news

Time for me to bulk-buy cheap anti-virus masks again.

alert

apparently the official line is that mask are ineffective

which makes ZERO sense

THEY LIEEEE

oh, so theres a UN global alert now - in direct contrast to what sky news said in their very short report

nothing to worry about, officials are not concerned, etc

Two men are dead from it in Saudi.

They were talking about in on Sky, saying they were worried because a lot of muslims are going there to celebrate something big soon, can't remember what.

2 now?

well if a bunch of muslims go over there and catch it, they aint coming back. if it looks like getting that bad, they surely must restrict movement

The return of the SCARES hahaha

Asked the same question.

Unless the ME has no way to deal with it.

One would think at least send him to an expensive saudi hospital that treats all their royals.

One of these would be equipped I am sure.

Can anyone check out if both of them either attended the Olympics' opening or closing ceremony???

Novel Coronavirus infection in the United Kingdom

23 September 2012 - On 22 September 2012, the United Kingdom (UK) informed WHO of a case of acute respiratory syndrome with renal failure with travel history to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and Qatar.

The case is a previously healthy, 49 year old male Qatari national that presented with symptoms on 3 September 2012 with travel history to the KSA prior to onset of illness. On 7 September he was admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) in Doha, Qatar. On 11 September, he was transferred to the UK by air ambulance from Qatar. The Health Protection Agency of the UK (HPA) conducted laboratory testing and has confirmed the presence of a novel coronavirus .

The HPA has compared the sequencing of the virus isolate from the 49 year old Qatari national with that of a virus sequenced previously by the Erasmus University Medical Centre, Netherlands. This latter isolate was obtained from lung tissue of a fatal case earlier this year in a 60 year-old Saudi national. This comparison indicated 99.5% identity, with one nucleotide mismatch over the regions compared.

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses which includes viruses that cause the common cold and SARS. Given that this is a novel coronavirus, WHO is currently in the process of obtaining further information to determine the public health implications of these two confirmed cases.

With respect to these findings, WHO does not recommend any travel restrictions. Information regarding requirements and recommendations for the Hajj season in 2012 can be found at [link to www.who.int]

so it appears he is not a british subject?


ok, everybody with the bug - COME ON IN!


are they the only hospital with the means to treat him? what are they going to do? attempt to treat everyone who get it at the same london hospital?

On another thread about this topic the news report said they transported him to the UK on Sept. 11th ... Makes you go Hmmm!

My advice about scares and the WHO is close the website and don't listen to them. They lied back in 2001 about it and put up a apology on their website which stayed there some 20 odd mins and gone forever but what they had done was write off all normal cases of pneumonia as SARS so the numbers of cases were none true.

Yes, and that virus is targeted at butt-fucking Nazis with CAPS LOCK syndrome.

You're dead already.

This should be superpinned

oh the drama. influenza kills 200-500k per year worldwide.

did they identify the "coronavirus" by bone pointing? I mean, virus isolation and characterization is a complicated lab procedure, has it been done to this man? and to a random population sample as large for comparison? This is fear mongering as it has been every time.

Since "officials" don't even have to prove any infectious virus they just have to create panic, which is a lot simpler.

propaganda. Don't people ever learn? sars, swine flu, this, all of it is non sense. Viruses in general are the biggest medical hoax since vaccination.

something else that makes you go hmmm.. especially with all the islam movie hype going on...

"The discovery of the new virus comes at a potentially hazardous time; on the eve of the Hajj, the Islamic holy pilgrimage to the city of Mecca. Saudi Arabia opened its borders to pilgrims on September 17, but the real influx of pilgrims is set for the end of October. Last year, almost 2 million Muslims from around the world completed the rite."

Tell that to all the people who died and continue to die from those and other viruses every year...

Is the victim Asian?
