The illness is caused by a new bug as WHO spokesman said today. Typical symptoms include a high fever, chills, a cough and breathing difficulties. It has an incubation period of two to seven days. The disease claimed 10 lifes and has been found in 10 countries (most of them are Asian ones). First died was american businessman traveling in Hong Kong, last- british national, I am not sure yet.

There is no particular treatment for this disease.
Hong Kong has 111 cases registered, Vietnam - 54 and Singapore - 23. So, it's too early to speak about epedemy. However, airports and airlines around the world have already begun screening passengers, and refusing entry to those displaying symptoms of the disease, Reuters news agency has reported.

List of countries where the disease has already confirm can be supplemented by Switzerland, France, Slovenia, Taiwan, Thailand, China and the Philippines where suspecious cases have been registered recently.
