It sounds to me like the gay lobby is already feeling threatened by SARS and are downplaying its threat. Here's something from an article at gay.com:

According to the World Health Organization's statistics as of Wednesday, there have been 4,288 reported cases since November. Cases in the United States total 39, with no reported deaths.

Even though no effective drug treatment for SARS exists, Montagnier [the co-discoverer of HIV] was not alarmed about the development of the epidemic, arguing that there are many tools available for tracking and controlling its spread.

"An epidemic where 95 percent of the people survive hasn't got much chance of going very far." He added: "Many more people die from flu every year."

This sounds like good news...reason amid the panic over SARS. Is it supposed to offend me that this appears on a gay web site?
