- anonsivalley652 7y agoIt's difficult to say that because it was still transmitted to people more easily than Ebola. And the data and research show MERS isn't going away; bats maybe its natural reservoir. Pretending it doesn't exist or not doing anything about is playing Russian roulette with public health. If the US Army Corps of Engineers can eliminate malaria from the southern US, maybe a vaccine can be developed for the natural host and domesticated animals to prevent the risk to humans.
