I wonder if SARS will actually hit a more technlogically advanced culture harder than some place like China. I mean, they don't have as far to fall as we do. Their economy may be able to handle it better than ours.
Something else that bugs me is Canada's higher death rate. They are almost 20%! Why? I wonder if Canada is the only place giving out "true" numbers of those who have had SARS?

It is easy to hide an infection. It is somewhat harder, but not impossible, to hide a death.

Anybody who expects the Chinese to tell the truth about SARS is dreaming.
