Middle East Respiratory Syndrome is a viral disease that causes fever, cough, and shortness of breath. One third of infected persons die from the disease. It has a poorly understood transmission from camels to humans. Close human to human contact can cause the
spread of the disease. Due to its transmission type and death rate, what is the best prediction for the global spread of this disease?
A)
The global risk for this disease is high, as no vaccine is currently available.
B)
The global risk from this disease is high, as mortality rate is high for this
disease.
The global risk from this disease is low, it requires unique animal
transmission and close human to human contact.
D)
The global risk for this disease is low, as infected individuals die at a high
rate and have unlikely spread the disease.
