Re: BREAKING: MERS virus spreading across Asia, South Korea fails to contain outbreak
This is very concerning. If it were some third world country I'd pass it off as incompetent health management and inadequate resources. But this is South Korea. They've got fully modern healthcare facilities and good personnel.

If they can't stop it then the question must be asked if anybody else can.

Ugh MERS sounds like a bad way to die. At first you get the typical viral cold symptoms...Then comes to intestinal discomfort bleeding from your ass so and so forth. Then you die from from the kidney failure it causes. If this comes to the USA there are not enough dialysis machines available..

What a coincidence this is spreading on the heals of Bill Gates saying something 'like' this would kill millions.

They said the only Mers cases that have occurred so far were spread only inside the hospital.

Nope, there are tertiary cases and even one quaternary case.

Hong Kong issued a red alert and advised against traveling to South Korea, where an epidemic of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) is gaining pace. The virus is spreading despite attempts to contain the outbreak.

South Korea is in fact doing an excellent job of isolating those with it. MERS is a global disease.. it is not limited to the orient. I was thruout the US of A this past winter and heavy in colorado in particular where it was "unnamed"...

You know... North Korea could use this, eventually, to be proactive and start nuking S. Korea to rid the area of the disease.

I thought MERS was primarily transmitted through camels. I don't recall many camels in Korea. Has it mutated?

The reason the left wants you disarmed is because they plan to do things to you that you would shoot them for.

To a cat, "No" just means to try again later.

Re: BREAKING: MERS virus spreading across Asia, South Korea fails to contain outbreak
The government kept the hospitals (24 in total), at which MERS patients were being treated, a secret. Result: the vast majority of diagnosed MERS cases can be traced back to visitors to those twenty-four hospitals. So in other words, the general population was kept ignorant of the "danger areas" which resulted in even more people being infected thus contributing to the overall problem. All because the government did not feel it necessary to tell the people the truth. (Recurring issue in South Korean Politics since 1945). WTF right? The government does not tell people where the highest risks of infection are locally, instead they tell people not to eat camel meat in South Korea. How many of you people have seen a Camel-Koggi store here?

So why would the government do such a despicable thing and not inform its citizens of the danger? Easy, profit plain and simple. People would avoid the hospitals and as a result they would loose money. And as with all capitalist regimes, profits always come before people.

(This is very concerning. If it were some third world country I'd pass it off as incompetent health management and inadequate resources. But this is South Korea. They've got fully modern healthcare facilities and good personnel.

If they can't stop it then the question must be asked if anybody else can.)

Have you visited Korea?
How doe you know it is not some third world country?

Koreans are too proud to admit their faults and they won't ask for help.
You should what is real Korea like--it's a filthy place there's no common sense for keeping things clean.
