2 More Saudis Dead From MERS

Two more Saudis have died from MERS.

This brings the total to thirty-eight, all but four of which have been Saudis.

Sixty-five cases have been confirmed, in the country, with the majority being fatal.

MERS was first identified about one year ago.

Scientists say that MERS is related to SARS, which killed over eight hundred, in 2003.

Both are respiratory diseases that can be quite deadly, with no known cure.
