Its been around for sometime now and for a while it seemed as though it had faded away but it seems that it was just lying in wait to reappear again.
What I am referring to is the MERS or Middle East Respiratory Virus which as the name implies originated from the Middle East.
The scary thing about this virus is aside from attacking people with seemingly healthy immune systems, the mortality rate is 50% or 1 of every 2 people who get it will die.
There have been 114 documented cases so far on the CDC website and 54 of these have died.
