Revelation 6:7,8 NCV When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a pale horse. Its rider was named death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill people by war, by starvation, by disease, and by the wild animals of the earth.
The new coronavirus found in the Middle East that is very similar to the SARS virus that killed 800 people in 2002 has been found to be spread from human to human.
Health officials in the UK made the announcement after a third British citizen was confirmed to be infected with the virus. The scientists say the infected man contracted the disease from a relative.
Health workers were quick to say the threat to the population remains very low despite the diagnosis of two new cases within a week. Only 11 confirmed cases have been found around the world with five fatalities but 3 of the 11 have been in England.
Doctors say the new patient had a weakened immune system leaving them more susceptible to contraction of the virus.
Scientists researching the virus say that the disease is likely connected to bats. If the disease is mostly going to be transmitted animal to human it could keep the virus from becoming a major pandemic.
While the virus has been confirmed as originating in the middle east, no travel restrictions have been issued by the British government.
