2002 - 2003 saw the first rise of SARS infections and peak of death rates in 2003. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severe_acute_respiratory_syndrome. That was 12 years ago. The Chinese Calendar in 2003 was 癸未, exactly a cycle of Earthly Branches 地支 compare to this year.
This month and especially this few days, news agencies started picking up the spread of MERS virus in Korea. Whether can the virus spread further, as it was first noticed in late 2012 in Saudi Arabia.

Interestingly this year 2015, the Chinese Calendar is 乙未. It is the same as in 2003, which is a goat year 未,however the Heavenly Stems 天干 is different. 2003 癸未 saw the clash of 癸 water stem clash with 未 earthly branch, which is clear water represented by the 癸 WATER stem with 未 EARTH branch.
2015 however, we have 乙 Wood Stem with 未 Earth. Will it be able to go full fledge into epidemic scale? Not likely. However since the month of June is 壬午 and July is 癸未 , base on this 2 months and their element it is not likely to go away anytime soon. The likely EARLIEST will also have to be beginning of autumn which is in August 甲申.
Travelling this year if based on #QMDJ Qi Men Dun Jia 奇门遁甲 is not advisable for WEST and also EAST, using your own locality as to determine reference point.
For those who their own Ba Zi 八字 is particularly sensitive to Fire are not advisable to travel at least until Autumn this year, if the infection rate is not controlled by respective countries within these few weeks.
