Lol except it's nothing to worry about it only affected 393 people in Saudi Arabia in 2012 and it only killed over half of them. The common flu is more deadly than this.

>Only killed over half To me, 50% and higher sounds like a high mortality rate.
-
But the amount of people infected was little. Then again this could have occurred in a small contained village of 393 people where the virus didn't spread that much, but still killed half the people it infected. First things first, look at what actually happened and judge from there.
-
it also killed off most of the WHO aid doctors and nurses sent to treat it and study it.
-
But it's a low infection rate. Also this is Saudi Arabia not the United States of not a third world country.
-
Saudi Arabia is actually pretty first world,guy. it's ruled by a trillionaire royal family with a lot of members, with a LOT of fancy tastes.
-
Just because the wealth is concentrated at the very top doesn't make it a 1st world country. Saudia Arabia, well the general population isn't exactly the wealthiest. Hygiene isn't really their thing either. The pilgrimage to Mecca is probably unsanitary as hell.
-
It's not first world, but it's a developing one so not third either iirc

50,097 per year, I can't link directly to it but click that link then hit Ctrl+F and search Influenza.

Oh, you mean total deaths? Of course this kills less people, but it kills more successfully than normal influenza. So, if 10 people got influenza, 1 might die, but if 10 got MERS, 5 will die.

Hypothetically I mean we know what it is and where it's started so it's safe to assume it won't be as bad here. It also requires more effort to infect from what I've been reading so I'm not worried at all stuff like this happens all the time.
