Yeah-- Ebola, Mers, Heartland virus, just to name a few.
Mers causes death in about 36 out of 100 people.
In May 2015, South Korea began investigating an outbreak of Mers.
Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome(Mers) spreads to humans through African and Shiite camels.
Only two patients in the U.S. have ever tested positive for Mers.
Mers is fatal in 30 to 40 percent
of people who contract it.
As with SARS, Mers patients usually require oxygen supplementation
and possible mechanical ventilation.
Most initial cases of Mers occurred in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
Other illnesses,
such as avian flu and Middle East respiratory syndrome(Mers), presented their own challenges.
More than 20 countries have been affected by Mers, with most cases in Saudi Arabia.
The World Health Organisation has confirmed a total of 80 Mers cases worldwide, including 45 deaths.
Mers can vary from not causing any symptoms,
to a mild disease, or to a severe illness.
And in 2015, WHO criticized the name of another coronavirus- Mers, or, in translation,"Middle East Respiratory Syndrome".
For Mers, based on a demographic study in June 2012,
the mortality was 37% of 2,494 confirmed cases.
In April 2014, the first American was hospitalized for Mers in Indiana and another case was reported in Florida.
Thailand has confirmed its first
case of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome(Mers), the deadly virus that has killed
24 people in South Korea.
Back in April 2014,
the first American was hospitalized for Mers at Indiana, and the other case was reported in Florida.
Unlike SARS, many patients with Mers also developed acute renal failure,
which is thus far unique for Mers among HCoV-caused diseases.
In May 2015, there was an outbreak of Mers in Korea which was the largest outbreak outside of the Arabian peninsula.
In May 2015, there was an outpouring of Mers in Korea, which was the biggest outbreak outside of the Arabian Peninsula.
At the end of July 2015 there had
been almost 200 reported cases of Mers in South Korea with 36 reported deaths.
However, 80% of them required ventilation support,
much more than COVID-19 patients and consistent with the higher lethality of Mers than of COVID-19.
Whenever possible, we will try to compare COVID-19 with SARS and another CoV-caused disease,
Middle East respiratory syndrome Mers, an outbreak in 2012.
SARS, another coronavirus that emerged to infect people,
came from civet cats, while Mers, another coronavirus that emerged to infect people, came from camels.
SARS, another coronavirus that emerged to infect people,
came from civit cats, while Mers, another coronavirus that emerged to infect people, came from camels.
When Mers became prevalent,
it was believed that existing SARS research may provide a useful template for developing vaccines and therapeutics against a Mers-CoV infection.
The CDC believes that severe acute respiratory syndrome(SARS)
and Middle East respiratory syndrome(Mers), two other types of coronavirus,
are spread through droplets when someone coughs or sneezes.
Ten years later, the Middle East respiratory syndrome(Mers) outbreak resulted in a persistent epidemic
in the Arabian Peninsula with sporadic spreading to the rest of the world.
