United States National Security Could Be Threatened By The Deadly, Emerging MERS Virus

[Raserisk]

[QUOTE](CNSNews.com) – As Saudi and U.N. health authorities report new infections from a troubling new respiratory disease, there are concerns that the approaching Hajj – the annual Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca – could increase the risk of spreading the virus as pilgrims return to their home countries.

Meanwhile the U.S. government, in a notice published in the Federal Register Wednesday, declared that the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV, or simply MERS) could potentially “affect national security or the health and security of United States citizens living abroad.”

Saudi Arabia is currently the undisputed center of the scare.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) the majority of the 55 confirmed MERS cases – 40 infections, 24 deaths – have occurred in the kingdom, while two deaths each have been reported in Britain and Jordan and one death each in France and the United Arab Emirates. (The fatalities in Europe were linked to visits to the Middle East.)

There should be screenings before they reenter the country to insure they aren't going to bring that shit over here

Too bad that will never happen

When the title said "national security threatened" and "virus", I thought they were talking about a computer virus; a deadly viral contagion like this is far, far worse.

"TSA starts mandatory screenings on all flights from Saudi Arabia, cites national security. Institutionalized racism?"

Well, il be safe, along with a fair bit of facepunch too, we do just stay inside after all..

Except its not racist, if you're coming from SA then you [I]could[/I] be carrying it, I'm p. sure its without question that it'd be the same if it came from a European country as much as the MEast.
