Official count (as of 12th May) of the MERS novel Coronavirus is 34 cases and 18 deaths according to WHO.
http://www.who.int/csr/don/2013_05_12/en/index.html The WHO report was also front page of one of the two sensation rags (evening papers - sold all day) that are on sale hear - with a LARGE picture of the virus. So most people in Finland must be aware of it now. |

Thanks for the post and update Edwin.
Again the WHO does not refer to this new coronavirus as MERS. Apparently that new name of MERS didn't work out and is going nowhere. However, they did refer to it as SARI. They need to settle on a name for this new virus. Although without an official name, it will avert any sort of future panic as people will know nothing about it, and know nothing about what to search for via the internet, and it won't taint the image of the country it's name after I suppose. They could be intentionally not naming this virus and waiting/hoping for it to burn itself out. |

Unfortunately this isn't a flu bug Rishat1977. Your super blood won't have any immunity to this one I'm afraid, but who knows.... some people just don't get sick. My mother is 72 and has never been sick her life. She loves wine, but I doubt that has anything to do with it, lol.
They also can't use your blood for a vaccine as there wont be a vaccine for coronavirus, similar to SARS. Look on the bright side, with your super immunity you might be the only one left. |

May I add that red wine is better for you than white or rose! Homemade vino is the best! |
