Additionally, I would like to know-of those people who have gotten ill and haven't died-a break down of those that are hospitalized and still not recovered, home but still not recovered, hospitalized but citical and, most importantly, if anyone has made a complete recovery and is out and about doing OK?

This is driving me crazy. Is there a chance that people out there have gotten SARS and never gotten to the point where they have been hospitalized? Does everyone who gets it end up in ICU?

From everything I have read it seems like there are those who have completely recovered, some who only had mild disease, some who recovered but are permanently disabled, like the doctor whose lung function was destroyed by the disease, and some who are still on vents or who are seriously ill. What I would like more information on is were there any factors which made some people more susceptible to becoming seriously ill or dying. Right now there doesn't seem to be any particular factors, at least any that have been reported. Some of the sickest people and those that have died were reportedly young and healthy.
