"Be Alert"
how? there's no reason to panic IMHO. the man has been in quarantine ever since he stepped off the plane. and other passengers didn't complain of flu symptoms, either.
Also heard he's recovering - Read more here.
ReplyDelete..and he is Emirati and not Canadian as the news articles seem to imply without explicitly stating so. Sounds deceptive to me. What's the big deal? A virus is not going to discriminate based on your citizenship or ethnic background.
ReplyDeleteYes It is not alarming but for me prevention is better than cure...

He's a Candian-Pakistani doctor who works in Tawam hospital in Al-ain. From a reliable source.
