Saudi men are dying from a new virus. This virus is very similar to SARS.
Since the outbreak of SARS, it already killed 775 people worldwide. It was
stopped but now, a kind of new virus just claimed the 60th victim in
Saudi Arabia. It’s the 60th death from this new disease. In total,
there are 145 people infected and stay in hospital. This SARS like virus killed
800 in the outbreak of 2003. Although it is related to SARS, it belongs to a
common cold family. It could cause coughing, fever and pneumonia. Also, it
could disable our kidney. The first time people ever found out this virus is in
2012, and it was spreading in the Europe.
This virus might
be very dangerous. It remained me of an experience when I was young. At that
time the SARS are spreading in the world. In China, the government strengthened
their control in urban area; the police man was like searching for a political
criminal. They want to search everything so that they know if you get infected
with SARS or not. It was a terrible experience; we can’t get into our house
simply because I’m too young to have an ID. We waited 1 hour outside then our
parents started to search for us. This virus could be very similar to SARS, and
the technology is developing. Now days,
it’s so much easier to find a cure about a new disease or virus. So, I’m not
afraid of this disease, even if I’m infected, I still have a high possibility
to survive.
