www.Primo.com: Mers spread to many countries.

Can Learn from Hong Kong when SARS Overcome.
MERS name (Middle East respiratory syndrome) became even more popular lately, because people with the disease more deadly.
Not only in the Middle East again, but in dozens of other countries. During the pilgrimage season, the higher the spread.
The World Health Organization (WHO) began to panic. MERS disease that initially mistaken for the usual respiratory tract infections, has now turned into a deadly malignant disease.
Transmission area that was originally only the Middle East, has now spread to many countries in several continents, from Europe, America and Asia.
One reason, MERS endemic countries of Saudi Arabia is a destination Muslims around the world to perform Hajj and Umrah. There is the possibility of contagion to the rest of the world ach MERS became large when the pilgrimage season.
To overcome this, the WHO plans to hold meetings with various parties.
WHO argues that MERS had no control, even quite deadly because there is no vaccine to overcome. Even in the few weeks the faster transmission of MERS.
MERS number of patients increased significantly. Since the virus is spread to humans in September 2012, there were approximately 171 people who died in the Middle East. A total of 133 casualties of whom died in Saudi Arabia.
Meanwhile, a total of 506 cases worldwide and 473 of which once again took place in Saudi Arabia.
Lebanon is the latest country to suspect MERS. Some residents worry that the virus would spread rapidly, because Lebanon is a poor country with a sanitary condition mediocre. Moreover there are currently millions of Syrian refugees in every corner of the country.
MERS can spread very rapidly to environmental conditions and poor sanitation and overcrowded population.
However, the possibility of the spread of the MERS rejected Health Minister Wael Abu Faour Lebanon. He revealed, Beirut International Airport was fitted with temperature sensing.
So passengers who came with a high body temperature can be wary. A suspect in the country MERS also been deported and was declared cured.
There are fears in the community that MERS would be similar or even more severe than SARS.
When SARS endemic in 2003, in Asia alone, more than 700 lives have been lost.

SARS corona virus caused, but of a different kind. The SARS virus is easily spread, while the MERS did not.

However, the potential for death because MERS virus is much higher than SARS. MERS mortality from 30 percent, while only 10 percent of SARS. You can imagine if MERS later transmitted globally, the number of deaths would be extraordinarily high.

European Centre for Disease Control (ECDC) said the first MERS does not get the attention like SARS. One reason is the relatively slow spread of MERS, but the latter being changed. MERS transmitted rapidly, in April alone recorded 217 cases.

Researchers ECDC Sanjay Gupta reveals, is not yet known how the virus is transmitted to humans from camels. Can through a camel meat, camel milk is not cooked, or fluid in the body camel.

The virus also has an incubation period , so during a visit to Saudi Arabia could be unpredictable MERS does not hurt , but once returned to his country , a few days later he was ill recently .

That's what to watch out, because if not treated quickly, can be fatal.

In the midst of panic about the spread of the virus MERS, experts advise prism of the Chinese world. One is the region of Hong Kong.

Some cases occurred in the country's deadly and they were able to suppress its spread. Start of SARS to avian flu.

One-fifth of SARS cases worldwide are in Hong Kong. Even two-fifths of deaths because of SARS occurred in Hong Kong.

Therefore, the area of improving the infrastructure to control any outbreak of disease.

Long before MERS spread, every person who entered Hong Kong must pass through the sensor to check the temperature of the body.

Sensors that help them limit the spread and transmission of bird flu that could spread some time ago.

Director of the University's School of Public Health Prof. Hong Kong. Malik Peiris said, since the presence of SARS, Hong Kong is now a research center for virology and epidemiology of infectious diseases. Now experts in Hong Kong also researching MERS.

According to Peiris, SARS bring good change in the attitude of the Asian population, particularly about hygiene.

Awareness about hygiene, cough and sneezing in public places, as well as the use of hand-washing liquid containing alcohol and a mask when sick in the respiratory tract is the direct impact of SARS.

The community become aware of to keep yourself and others by maintaining cleanliness.

Furthermore, China and Hong Kong is not only confine ourselves to an effort to control the disease, they are also trying to find a cure.

The research team at the State Panda claimed to have discovered two antibodies when SARS broke out. These antibodies will be developed to treat MERS.

Corona virus on MERS can change genetically and become contagious corona viruses such as SARS. So be prepared scenario before it happens.
