Sixth Mers death in South Korea amid sharp rises in cases

A sixth person has died after contracting Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (Mers) in South Korea, amid a sharp rise in infections.
More than 23 people were confirmed to have contracted the disease on Sunday, bringing the total to 87, health officials say.
It is the biggest outbreak of Mers outside the Middle East.

About 2,300 people have been placed under quarantine and nearly 1,900 schools have been closed.

On Monday morning, a man in his 80s became the latest person to die of Mers-related illness in Daejeon, about 140km (87 miles) south of Seoul.
On Saturday a 75-year-old man died after contracting the virus. He had been in a Seoul hospital alongside other sufferers when he became ill.

....Approximately 36% of reported patients with Mers have died - there is no vaccine or specific treatment...

Ebola is taking a holiday from over-exertion. Mers, although a light weight, is stepping in to keep the pressure on. It'll arrive here, wherever you are, in a South Korean shipment container shortly. There is no escaping the plagues of Babylon. :coffee: :coffee:

Well, at least this outbreak has occurred in the developed world. Won't get anywhere near as far as it would if it struck in the slums of Cairo..

I'm surprised, Ithought this disease was mostly confined to Saudi Arabia, where it is indeed making ravages

They said that Egyptian Tombs were cursed, but would they listen?

It's taken a while, but now the curse is awake and spreading.

This thread might well become imMERSed in them, if we're not careful.
