LONDON — British officials say a mysterious virus related to SARS may have spread between humans, as they confirmed the 11th case worldwide of the new coronavirus in a patient who they say probably caught it from a family member.

The new virus was first identified last year in the Middle East and the 10 people who have previously been infected had all traveled to Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan or Pakistan.

According to Britain's Health Protection Agency, the latest patient is a U.K. resident with no recent travel to any of those countries but who had close personal contact with an earlier case. The patient may also have been at greater risk of infection due to an underlying medical condition and is currently in intensive care at a Birmingham hospital."

"Consider the difference in size between some of the very tiniest and the very largest creatures on Earth.
A smalll bacterium weighs as little as 0.00000000001 gram. Ablue whale weighs about 100,000,000 grams.
Yet a bacterium can kill a whale.... Such is the adaptability and versatility of microorganisms as compared
with humans and other so-called "higher" organisms, that they will doubtless continue to colonise and alter
the face of the Earth lon gafter we and the rest of our cohabitants have left the stage forever.
Microbes, not macrobes, rule the world.

Bernard Dixon, 1994"

The virus is smart, it spread by remaining dormant and it incubate in the healthy and strong body waiting for the right
moment to strike when the body system becomes weaker. In the 1918 Influenza Pandemic, a half million people died.

With the impending increase in population density with migrants from Countries with cases of the New Sars Virus outbreak, are we not creating a death trap for ourselves?
