I think the concern with SARS isn't where it is now, but where epidemiological science tells us it's headed.

Its headed to being another treatable illness... that's where its headed. I am so sick of the media enflamed hysteria... here is a disease that has been diagnosed and recognized for what a month or two????? And already we have identified it at the molecular level!

Watching the national news last night and you would think that 20% of the worlds population was already dead by the way these idiots were talking.... "why can't medical solve it"..."powerless to stop it" yada yada yada.... NONSENSE.

First it was tagged as instant death, more information over it is showing this not to be the case... now its being portrayed as unstopable and untreatable.. its hogwash! Whipping up hysteria to get ratings. Medical science will handle SARS one way or another... its amazing how spoiled we have become. Even in the worst case scenarios SARS won't overtake other diseases... just this is a new one so oooo oooo ooo the boogey man SARS is gonna kill us all. Its TRIPE!

As of 4/7/03 here are the numbers for SARS WORLDWIDE:

death toll from SARS to 94 and the number of confirmed or suspected infections to 2,718.

More people die every day on this planet from starvation or malaria or HIV or TB or other diseases or infections at the rate of hundreds if not thousands of times the total number of worldwide SARS nfections.

Stop buying into the media enflamed hype.
