Without sequences we can't rule out of #CamelFlu is MERS or any other pathogen. Btw MERS is not known to spread well but this is the first time that a lot of people gather together in air-conditioned stadium. Still I find it very unlikely.

I keep hearing about "Camel Flu"

Uh... This is a slang used by the same people who called #Covid19 or #SARS-CoV2 "china flu", right??

Turns out, the *OFFICIAL* name is "Middle East Respiratory Syndrome"

*sigh*

Ok so...

#CamelFlu = Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS)

#MERS is caused by a #coronavirus (MERS-CoV) *not* #influenza

Of the MERS cases that were reported to WHO, 35% died

Typical #symptoms:

#Fever
#Cough
#ShortnessOfBreath
#Pneumonia
#Diarrhea

Not to be confused w/ #MRSA

@taravanhonacker en nu nog al die extra Marokkaanse supporters die naar Qatar trekken. Als die #camelflu dan hier voet aan grond krijgt, dan hebben ze weer een zondebok gevonden. #racisme
