SARS like virus now in Denmark
I wasn't too concerned about yesterday's 2 isolated cases. But 4 people from the same family says highly infectious. The Haj pandemic could be on its way.FIVE people have been isolated in a hospital in Denmark with symptoms of a new viral respiratory illness from the same family as the deadly SARS virus, the hospital said on Wednesday. "We have sent samples from the five for testing and hope to get the results this afternoon," chief physician Svend Stenvang Petersen of Odense University Hospital told AFP. "The five have a fever, coughing and influenza-like symptoms," he added. Petersen said those admitted were a family of four where the father had been to Saudi Arabia, and an unrelated person who had been to Qatar. Two of those with symptoms were under the age of five.
