| #6 Kissing their freakin' camels? I love my cat to death, but there's no way I'd kiss him on the mouth. (A quick peck on the head, sure, but . . . .) |

| #5 So thinking about it, maybe a Saudi with the flu kissed a camel with mild MERS. |

| #4 Found this when I searched for how viruses mutate. Antigenic shift results when two different flu [and other viruses] strains combine and infect the same cell. This mutation is what allows flu [and other] viruses to move from animals to humans. |

| #2 Interesting, JosephM. That would make sense, since apparently there also is a mild form out there... or at least that some people are not experiencing a dangerous infection in need of hospitalization. |

| #1 An associate of mine claims that, after his service in the US Navy, he worked as a civilian at an elderly veterans' hospice in Chicago where many patients were afflicted/ among other, wid a dormant form or variant of MERS. Didn't kill or seriously affect them, but they had it nonetheless. He believes something has changed which has caused MERS to dangerously mutate + transmit from person-to-person. |
