An outbreak of MERS has reached the USA. It has roughly a 25% kill rate. Can any of the OT doctors explain what the hell this is?

By "outbreak," you're referring to the second case, right?

It's a virus that affects the respiratory system. It's most prevalent in Saudi Arabia and was brought here by a guy traveling here from the region.

On a serious note, the first was in NW Indiana. I think the new one is in central Florida, right?

On May 2, 2014, the first U.S. case of MERS was confirmed in a traveler from Saudi Arabia to the U.S. The traveler is considered to be fully recovered and has been released from the hospital. Public health officials have contacted healthcare workers, family members, and travelers who had close contact with the patient. At this time, none of these contacts has had evidence of being infected with MERS-CoV.
On May 11, 2014, a second U.S. imported case of MERS was confirmed in a traveler who also came to the U.S. from Saudi Arabia. This patient is currently hospitalized and doing well. People who had close contact with this patient are being contacted. The two U.S. cases are not linked.
