      The true missing point is the Jordanian & Lebanon situation resides on the (at least) 2 millions of Syrian refugees.

      What is the health situation among these people?

      I think an extraordinary effort to protect these vulnerable population from MERS is absolutely needed.

      I do not see any referral on MSMs or health agencies of this particular issue so far.

        Very valid point Giuseppe. I wonder which NGOs are running the refugee camps? There may be something about what protective/ preventative measures they are taking on their newsboards?
