Second “SARS-like” Virus Infection Confirmed In England

Revelation 6:7,8 NCV When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a pale horse. Its rider was named death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill people by war, by starvation, by disease, and by the wild animals of the earth.

A second case of the extremely deadly SARS-like virus that first appeared in the Middle East, has been confirmed in England.

The patient who is currently in intensive care at a Manchester hospital had recently traveled to the Middle East.

Doctors are insisting that this new corona virus is an “extremely low” risk to spreading to the population at large however they are monitoring the situation. The number of confirmed cases around the world of the virus has reached 10. However, researchers are quick to point out they have no idea how long the virus has been infecting residents of the Middle East.

Five of the first nine people to contract the virus died.

The virus is similar to the SARS virus that killed about 800 people in 2002. The virus spreads through drops of body fluids produced through sneezing and coughing, similar to the common cold.

No travel restrictions have been put in place by British health officials but warnings have been issued to anyone traveling to the Middle East to contact their doctor if they experience shortness of breath within 10 days of returning from the region.
