"PEople here in the USA, which is largely Anglo-Saxon, seem to be experiencing milder symptoms than Asians. This phenomenon is probably not due to poor hygiene in the USA. Where is this reported and how do you know the race?

i hate to be knitpicky but people of anglo-saxon extraction (from england) are a minority here in the US. so, there is no link between them and the mild effects of sars here in the USA.

Does this mean that all Chinese and Canadians living the US are going to die?

It also could be historically endemic in India and the natural population is no longer killed off but has a natural inherited resistence. Think monkeys. Think UV light.

"and a monkey comes to divide the bread among the fighting cats."
Interesting use of words.

Think UV light I see where you are going with the monkeys but expound on the UV light if you would?

Just intuition at this point but if folks on the Indian subcontinent are genetically prepared to survive this(quite a stretch...and this would have to be a very old and site specific bug to cause this) you have to look at natural factors that would have set the stage, ie the climate.
Add to that the bumped off Antartica microbiologist who was researching UV light and related environmental stress in his studies...remember his work was a totally different ballpark from the other bumped off microbiologists. He was finding something obviously.

This is a virus that originated with animals.
Seems the Hindus may have already developed an immunity to it based on their religious practices.
Cool.

monkey brains.
Just say "no" to monkey brains.

The Alpha patient was an animal handler, and were several of the other victims.
Animal handler/chef, not mutually exclusive.
I read the Chinese delicacy known as monkey brains is where it came from.
Bad batch of monkeys, I guess.

Also, your Toronto has the highest Asian population in the whole Continent outside of New York City.

So who would want to go after Asians? Racist usually go straight for blacks or Jewish people, why Asians?
