As of yesterday, 27 countries and Hong Kong have reported a total of 3,389 cases. * * * Worldwide, SARS is blamed for 165 deaths, for a death rate of 4.9 percent, the W.H.O. reported. * * *

But for unknown reasons, the death rate in Canada is about double; 12 of the country's 126 cases have been fatal, a death rate of 9.5 percent. * * *

If WHO is correct and another 200 people in China have died that would be a total of 326 dead world-wide. The death rate is a lot higher than the < 4.1% that has been thrown about like the 'truth.'

I bet it true death rate is about 8%

China has a lot of explaining to do.

Actually the death rates are higher in Canada than in China. Why no one knows.
