The Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) is not as scary as people think. According to statistics, the number of deaths due to MERS infection in January-June 2015 was significantly lower than the number of deaths due to the common cold in the same period. Therefore, the average Colds can threaten people's lives more than MERS. Which of the following best refutes the above argument? ['From January to June 2015, there were far more common cold patients than MERS patients.', "From January to June 2015, the outbreak of the MERS epidemic in South Korea seriously threatened the safety of people's lives.", 'The cause of the common cold is different from the cause of MERS.', 'Someone has a common cold, is infected with the MERS virus, and eventually dies.']
