I learned this news last night from TV. It is horrible as it seems there is no cure treatment today. And it is deadly. Last time this virus happened in Malaysia. I hope this kind of problem will be gone soon. As nobody can really avoid it due to today our world is becoming smaller. The modern transportation can carry the virus anywhere.

You are correct. It is the luck that the virus is recognized earlier. Health workers said that virus is spreading only in a small range one or two meter one. One who close contact with the patient easily get the virus. All major persons in this case get virus from the hospital including nurse.

@DianneN Now some of the test results come. There are no proof that birds and animals spread this virus. Bats are not deadly one.
