Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS CoV) is a respiratory disease caused by coronavirus. This disease is transmitted from camels to humans, as well as from humans to humans.

Reporting from the official WHO website, the corona virus is a large family of viruses that cause common cold to more severe illnesses such as MERS and SARS. Globally, new corona viruses appear regularly in various regions, including SARS in 2002 and MERS in 2012.

MERS CoV is thought to originate from camels that live in Middle Eastern countries, such as Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Yemen. Although MERS CoV also occurs in several countries in Europe and America, but sufferers are known to have this disease after traveling to Middle Eastern countries. Therefore, this disease is often referred to as Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome.

Another source said that although MERS CoV is contagious, transmission is not as easy as the common cold. MERS CoV is more susceptible to transmission through direct contact, for example in people who care for MERS sufferers without implementing proper self-protection procedures against viruses.

Symptoms of MERS CoV generally appear 1-2 weeks after the patient is infected with the virus. Some of the symptoms that arise in victims who have contracted MERS CoV include coughing, runny nose, sore throat, chills, fever, shortness of breath to muscle aches. Even in some cases, MERS CoV can also cause symptoms of bloody cough, nausea and vomiting, and diarrhea.

This virus originates from sick birds or birds, and can be caused from an environment that has been contaminated by the disease.

Symptoms experienced by someone affected by bird flu are almost the same as the symptoms that occur in swine flu, such as diarrhea, nausea and even vomiting, abdominal pain, bleeding gums, chest pain, and even nosebleeds.

This virus is transmitted from direct contact with poultry or sick birds, direct contact with dust from the droppings of sick poultry or birds, and can also be caused when eating meat from poultry or birds contaminated with the virus due to lack of thoroughness during the cleaning process.

To overcome this, a person suffering must be rushed to the hospital to get proper treatment quickly, because this virus can spread easily, so that patients will be placed in isolation.
Generally people with the virus are encouraged to eat healthy foods and drink lots of fluids.

Before the corona virus outbreak, China was first horrendous with the spread of SARS or Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome which is a severe acute respiratory syndrome. SARS outbreak occurred in 2002-2003 ago.

Quoted from various sources, the SARS outbreak occurred in 37 countries and infected as many as 8,096 people, claiming 774 lives.

The disease is thought to spread through the air, but researchers have not confirmed this.

Symptoms caused by SARS include malaise (the body feels weak and unwell), myalgia (muscle aches and body aches), fever, and of course cough with difficulty breathing.

Respiratory disorders usually begin to appear within 2–10 days after a person is exposed to the virus. Medical experts will usually take action by quarantining SARS sufferers and family members having a history of previous overseas trips. The quarantine process usually takes 10 days to prevent the virus from spreading to others.

For treatment, patients must take Oseltamivir with a certain dose, plus antibiotic drugs. Because a vaccine is not yet created to ward off the virus, as a form to avoid it, just use a mask when traveling, and avoid visiting countries affected by the virus.
