I've read reports that SARS seems to be affecting Asians more than caucasians. Also, I read that children seem to have a natural immunity.

I'm wondering if the cases in the US are maybe mixed race individuals, and that is why they are not having as much trouble.

It IS affecting Asians the most. However, that is to be expected because of where the disease originated. Nothing in the published literature indicates any intrinsic genetic pre-dispositon to get this disease.

One of the first victims was a doctor from France.

Well, my children are 25% Asian...where does that leave them?

My head hurts.
