The World Health Organisation has given warning that a new strain of the coronavirus could be passed on between people in close contact.
The warning comes after reports on Sunday that a man who contracted a deadly new SARS-like virus after sharing a hospital ward with France's first victim, had been moved to intensive care following a deterioration in his condition.
The first victim, also being treated at the University Hospital in the northern city of Lille, was said to be in a "very serious but stable" condition as health officials attempted to play down public concern over two cases that are attracting intense media coverage.
[...]
Thirty-nine people who came into contact with the second patient are now being checked by authorities for the virus.
The virus, known as nCoV-EMC, is a cousin of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), which killed nearly 800 people in the East Asia in 2002-03.
The new virus is known to have killed at least 18 people, mostly in Saudi Arabia.

And this is the end.
again.
Does nCoV-EMC have a fatal effect on normal healthy people?
Or,can you be 'saved' if you go the doctor on time?
DJ nCoV-EMC IN THE HIZZOUSE!

Even the worst diseases aren't as bad as people make them up to be, if you get fucking bubonic plague your chance of survival is [url=http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/829233-overview#a0199]~50% if untreated and ~90%[/url] if you get medical attention.
Also while I'm at it your chance of surviving the last outbreak-strain of SARS if you are under 24, is estimated to be [url=http://www.who.int/csr/sarsarchive/2003_05_07a/en/]99%[/url]
Not even nearly as bad as SARS though
[QUOTE]"Thankfully it is not comparable to SARS," he said.
"It has been circulating for a little less than a year, and we're at 34 reported cases, whereas with SARS it only took a few months to get to 8,000 cases."[/QUOTE]

Did you not know? Pete Townshend has a backup job, he does that spinny thing with his arms whenever there's a new superbug on the loose.

Fuck, I just turned 24 a few days ago. :(
I really hope this doesn't spread far and fast, at least hope a cure comes up quick too.
Here we go again
so we should stay away from coniferous trees?
Oh, coronavirus. No idea what that is.
I don't care what they say, I'll still drink them :v:

No, it's not very contagious.
