By May, 1,150 MERS cases had been reported in over 20 countries, including Saudi Arabia, the UK, France, Malaysia and the US, The Beijing News reported.
据《新京报》报道,截至今年5月(16日),全球共有20多个国家报告总计1150例MERS病例,包括沙特阿拉伯、英国、法国、马来西亚以及美国。
MERS is considered deadlier than SARS, which killed hundreds of people in Asia in 2003, and there is currently no vaccine or treatment plan for the virus. Of the infected, 431 people have died, which means the fatality rate stands at 37.5 percent, three times that of SARS, said Wang Linghang, an expert with Beijing Ditan Hospital.
2003年SARS在亚洲夺去了成百上千人的生命,而MERS的致死率比SARS还要高,而且目前还没有可用的疫苗和药物治疗方法。北京地坛医院的专家王凌航表示:在被感染者中,目前已有431人死亡,由此可见MERS的致死率达37.5%,是SARS的三倍。
No need to panic
无需恐慌
There is good news, though, which is that the MERS is less infectious than SARS. “The MERS has been around for three years, but there has been no massive outbreak, and only sporadic cases were reported,” Wang said.
庆幸的是,MERS的传染性要低于SARS。王凌航同时表示:“MERS出现已有3年之久,但是并没有大面积爆发过,只有零星的病例确诊。”
