Sars was a respiratory illness that killed hundreds of people back when it was more prominent. If you remember, it is the reason why people wore face masks for a while, maybe 10 (or so) years ago. Now, UK officials have received a man from Qatar who has a virus that has many of the same properties of Sars, but is not stopped with the vaccination. The first victim of the virus was in Saudi Arabia, and has died since first contracting the disease. As of right now, the World Health Organization has not put any restrictions on travel, but has issued warnings for those surrounding areas. So far there have only been two known cases and there is no evidence that the illness has spread to others; however, officials and virology experts urge caution when traveling abroad at this time.
