Thanks Arirish for keeping us posted on this.
I wonder if this will keep spluttering along in KSA (and a few other countries), or if it will finally make a break for the wider world. I suppose if it is still tied to camels as an important vector then it will stay 'local' to where it now is. |

This is happening during Ramadan when many Muslims visit their holy land! If it doesn't spread now I don't think it will! And you're right, without a camel herd to sustain it, good infection control can stop it. It's worth watching but baring mutation I'm not too worried about it!
Happy 4th!! |
