A man in Indiana has the first confirmed case of Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), a cousin of SARS and the common cold, in the U.S. It has killed more than 100 people, or about a third of those affected, in Saudi Arabia over the last two years. There is no vaccine or cure. Have a great weekend!
