Coronavirus Death Reported in France

Coronavirus Death Reported in France
From BBC News, May 28, 2013

A sixty-five year-old tourist in Dubai died in the hospital Tuesday due to the coronavirus. This virus emerged only last year and there have been forty-four cases worldwide since its emergence. The infected persons in more than half of these cases have died from the virus and most cases are linked to travel to the Middle East, many to Saudi Arabia. The coronavirus is similar to SARS and the common cold and have spurred global concern over the potential danger if it spreads. In reality, the risk of infection are low but the global community is working to find the cause and root of the virus so it can be prevented.
