Although #MERS doesnt appear to be highly infectious in peoples homes or in airplanes, its clearly spreading in #hospitals. Thats where many of the Saudi infections occurred. This is not like measles ... not like chickenpox — which are [both] highly communicable diseases, says epidemiologist Trish Perl at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. But the reality is that there is something in #healthcare [centers] where the communicability is much more prominent. Its not clear what makes hospitals so risky. Some medical procedures — breathing treatments, certain exams — might propel more #virus into the atmosphere.
