Activity/Exit Ticket There is a new virus called MERS that has been spreading. The first confirmed case in the U.S. occurred in Indiana just a few days ago. With a partner or by yourself, read this article http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-health-officials-to-hold-briefing-today-on-first-us-mers-case-20140505,0,1291781.story Using your iPad, research the MERS virus and find the answers to the following questions. Write your answers on a piece of paper and turn them in as you leave. Where did the MERS virus originate? What does MERS stand for? What is an incubation period, and how long is the incubation for the MERS virus? How can you reduce your chances of contracting MERS? Should we be concerned about the MERS virus? Do you think it is going to spread throughout the entire U.S.? Why or why not.
