#2 So, in your commentary, any thoughts about the DPRK meds and techs found leaving Libya? Think they've been studying MERS to take home?

#3 With as many as 400 Norks in Libya, you have to wonder what they are doing there.

But no Mers outbreaks in Libya, and it's only been known for 3 years, ie post-Gaddafi. So Nork involvement looks unlikely.

BTW, Mers is like bird flu, with apparently multiple transmissions from animals (camels+??), so can't be eradicated like SARS and Ebola.

#5 p.s. As long as they don't blame it on the Jews, it's not really serious.
