more bad news

World Health Organisation has put out a bulletin about
a new respiratory illness that is spreading globally,
rapidly and is frequently fatal.  No known treatments
exist.  The Washington Post also has an article on this
with slightly different data than in the BBC article.

(BBC is plain free; Washington Post is free, but might
require answering a silly web question and enabling cookies).

It is someone that one might want to be aware of in case
one feels ill with similar symptoms this week, since people
from all over will be at IETF.  Unfortunately, global
meetings are a good place to exchange diseases by accident.

As if the world needed more bad news this month...

Sigh,
