Remember SARS CoV-1?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Remember SARS CoV-1?

Post by ali baba »

I was reading up on SARS-CoV-1 today. (the one from 2004) and it was reassuring to learn that 4 people contracted it as a result of lab accidents. 1 in Singapore, 1 Taipei and 2 in Beijing.

Researchers from Wuhan Institute of Virology (where have I heard that name before?) tracked the disease to a cave in Yunnan and reported "another deadly outbreak of SARS could emerge at any time. The cave where they discovered their strain is only a kilometre from the nearest village, and genetic mixing among the viral strains is fast."

It's like reading a horror story that's heavy on foreshadowing.

Scarier than malaria.
