Seven of eight cases had underlying comorbidities, recognized risk factors for severe MERS-CoV disease. The cases appear to represent sporadic infections related to zoonotic spillover rather than a single outbreak cluster. The count was as of Oct 5, but reported today by WHO.

MERS kills roughly one in three people it infects. The only reason you've barely heard of it is that it struggles to spread between humans. Let's hope it never learns.
