#1 It would be interesting if the Hajjis contacted something in Saudia and spread it through Dar. I mean, how'd it affect the practice of Hajj?

#2 Probably wouldn't have much of an effect on Hajj. In fact, it might even increase it. Inshallah, and all that.

#3 ...I wonder how much it cost WHO to give the Saudis that endorsement.

#7 I'd forgotten, when I posted the article, that serious health risks are standard operating procedure for the haj. We haven't had any articles about Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) since 2015, but at the same time that the camel-transmitted coronavirus was slaying hundreds of Saudis they were also keeping a sharp eye out for Ebola infections. link
