5 People infected with a deadly virus ... may have caught it from one-humped camels, used in the region for meat, milk, transport and racing.

Waiter: Sir, How do you take your camel?
Will that be one hump or two?

Patron: Two Please, my doctor has put me on a MERS free diet.

9 On a more serious note:
Why is this newsworthy with only 46 people dead?
Probably more than that will be killed by drunken drivers this weekend.

11 Skidmark: because the _other_ possibility is that this is a new virus spreading from human-to-human contact.

They need to find a plausible reason the hajj won't just be a gigantic vector for MERS-CoV.

16 The fact that the Hajj hasn't been ground zero on a major outbreak is proof the west is not as racist and hating of Islam as some claim.

Funny, the Stormfront logo is missing from the site.

Y'know, given the locale, if AlQ, ALQAP or the Iraqi Baathists had been working on a weaponized virus...

I guess they see themselves as 'socialists' and not 'nazis' (which is only 'national socialists.') As Bucharin said, anti-semitism is merely 'socialism for the stupid,' which if you think about it suggests that leftism is only nazi-ism for supposedly smart people. this comes full circle when it turns out they're not as smart as they think they are.
