90+% of the people infected with SARS recover fully. There have been about 100 suspected cases in the US, but not one...not one...death. Most have not even needed hospitalization.

The CDC recommends isolation for ill SARS patients, but has not compelled isolation or quarantine. All this EO did was add SARS to the list of quarantinable diseases. This really isn't much of a story, IMHO.

I wonder if there will be reoccurrence for patients who get SARS?
