From the first article I read on it, Sars has struck me as a very serious problem that will probably be with us for several decades before it starts to taper off. It could easily be worse than the flu pandemic at the beginning of the century, which killed more people than the First World War. The population controllers and the ecofreaks who think there are too many people around should be ecstatic about this.

First the resurgence of Islam, and now Sars. We are moving into interesting times.
