Re: Jordan - Cluster of approximately 11 people with acute pneumonia type illness, 2 fatalities - April 20 - May 2012 - Novel coronavirus confirmed
I think the author of this piece is the same person who made the (now incorrect) tweet several posts above, almost exactly two months ago, that the coronavirus had been excluded:

SARS-Like Virus Found In Jordan, Hunt Is On For Other Cases
The World Health Organization says a new Arabian coronavirus has killed two people in Jordan ? the third country where the novel microbe has been traced.
That brings lab-confirmed cases to nine, with five fatalities.
The latest cases are actually the oldest known so far. They push the SARS-like virus's timeline three months back from the first reported case involving a 60-year-old man who died in Jedda, Saudi Arabia, last June.
Jordan's cases were found through new testing of blood and tissue samples from patients in a cluster of pneumonias of unknown origin that occurred last April at a hospital in Zarqa, near Jordan's capital of Amman.
Until now known cases have occurred further south in Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
The Jordan cases are also significant because they're part of an 11-person cluster of pneumonia that involved seven nurses and a doctor.
