Thanks to Helen
Branswell for tweeting the link to this October 30 report in the Oman
Observer: Sultanate reports first case of
coronavirus. Excerpt:
The Sultanate yesterday reported the first case of the deadly MERS coronavirus. This was announced by Mohamed bin Saif al Hosni, Under-Secretary for Health Affairs.
Giving details of the case, he said that the situation is under control and there is no need for panic. The affected patient is undergoing treatment at a hospital and his condition is stable. The official said the patient got the disease after contact with someone from outside the Sultanate and more details of the case will be known in few days.More details? We've been given hardly any details to begin with.
The #Coruna hashtag is buzzing with the report that an Egyptian
woman, recently returned from Saudi Arabia with suspected MERS, and found negative, has now died—of H1N1. Here's one version from
a website called VetoGate.com: Health Dakahleya .. The cause of death,
"Fatima," "h1n1" and not "Corona". A Google translation of the full report:
Dr. Magdy Hegazy said Undersecretary of the Ministry of Health in Dakahlia : The situation that died today after suspected of being infected with Corona and the test results were negative, and died as a result of being infected with H1N1 flu emerging.
Hegazy explained that the patient came to the hospital in a coma full and placed on a respirator and did not respond to treatment.
The Fatima Massad Mohamed Abdel Fattah returned from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia late condition and the suspected bird flu virus, and after visiting Koruna and Health Minister died yesterday, two other cases were detained suspected of infected with the virus.The tweeters on #Coruna seem unpersuaded that she tested MERS-negative. This report also mentions, as an afterthought, two more suspected cases...of MERS? Of H1N1? Who knows?
