I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

I'm very concerned about this because my daughters almost died of RSV (respiratory synctial virus) when they were infants. They are 6 now, but one of them still have pretty bad asthma.

I'm also worried about my dad. He just got over pneumonia, he's elderly, and he has heart trouble.

I hope they develop a vaccine or treatment very quickly.

I understand your concern. SARS is a personal concern of mine too.

My wife is one of the very few women under the age of 50 to get multiple myeloma (the odds are about one in a million at her age). She has a completely trashed immune system as a result, and will certainly die if she gets SARS.

FreeRepublic has its share of posters commenting about how they are not personally worried because they think only "certain people" are at risk. These people are both wrong (it could get them too), and clearly lacking in some part of their humanity.
