MERS Virus Here In US

The guy in Indiana took a long bus ride while contagious, but let's hope no one is else is infected. There has been a surge of recent cases in the Middle East, and some speculate that the virus has mutated to transmit more easily.

My survivalist tendencies sort of flare up when I read about things like this. Can you imagine a terrible epidemic here in the US? The hospitals would run out of ventilators quickly, but I supposed some forced breathing apparatus could be improvised.
