Koreacluster

 

# 10,262

 

While the Korean MERS cluster is showing encouraging signs of slowing down it may take as many as four weeks (2x’s the 14 day incubation period) without new cases before we can say the outbreak is truly over.  Today, however, another case has been added to the list, along with two deaths (Pt #87 F, 79 & Pt #140 F, 80 – both with major comorbidities).

 

Case #181 is a 26 y.o. male, and is described as a Medical Worker at Samsung Hospital.


As we’ve mentioned before, fatalities are often a trailing indicator as some patients may succumb after days or even weeks of treatment.  The CFR currently sits at 17.1%, but is likely to increase somewhat over time.
