South Korea reports 2 new MERS cases after 4 day hiatus
SEOUL - South Korea on Thursday reported two new cases of the 
potentially deadly Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) virus, after 
four days in which no cases were spotted.
It brought to 184 the total number of people diagnosed with MERS in the largest outbreak outside Saudi Arabia.
The latest cases involved two nurses from Seoul's Samsung Medical Center, the health ministry said.
The hospital, which has so far accounted for almost half of all 
confirmed cases, declared a 10-day suspension of most health services 
last month to stem the spread of the virus.
As the hospital continued to report new cases, the shutdown was extended indefinitely.
Of the 184 confirmed cases, 33 have died, 102 have been cured and 
released from hospital and 48 are still being treated, with 12 of them 
listed as being in critical condition.

	So it's still at Samsung Medical Center. This virus (as we've seen in Saudi) really thrives in medical settings. This would be the likely scenario at many hospitals and clinics if MERS were to spread to other countries in the cooler months. A significant outbreak and hospitals being identified as the primary source of infection would present a logistic nightmare.

	The hospital has been in lock down since June 14th, and I thought with no visitors and suspended surgeries. Strange they still can't stop it.
