“CFR Senior Fellow for Global Health Laurie Garrett writes, ‘Like the SARS virus, MERS ravages the lungs of infected people, causing pneumonia and acute respiratory distress. …But unlike SARS, it also attacks the kidneys, causing renal failure.’ ‘There is no cure, rapid diagnostic test, or vaccine for MERS-CoV,’ Garrett adds. But the ability to develop a treatment for the epidemic is being impeded by a concept known as ‘viral sovereignty’ – the idea that deadly viruses are the property of sovereign nations.”
