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.
With the Muslim Hajj only months away, Saudi Arabia has reported two more deaths from the MERS virus.
The death toll is now 38 from the new virus. The Saudi Health Ministry also said that three more positive cases have been found. The death rate for the virus is still over 50%.
The World Health Organization is holding emergency talks about MERS but stressed they did not yet hike the global alert level for the virus.
“”We really want the international community to be in a position to be ready for any possibility,” WHO health security chief Keiji Fukuda told reporters. He claims the meeting is a “proactive move” on the part of the WHO.
The MERS meeting is only the second time in the WHO’s history that meeting of this nature has been held. The first meeting came in the wake of the 2009 H1N1 flu outbreak which killed tens of thousands.
