I wonder, could "SARS" be a Chinese BIO weapon experiment that "got out of the bottle?" Just a thought.......

I can't help but wonder if SARS isn't a ruthless form of population control.

China will never be the same.

I really don't know. A scientist or bioweapons engineer might be the one to ask. I can't discount it. Sure, anthrax or something like that might be faster and affect more people, but what could be better then a disease that changes so fast it can barely be kept up with? What better way not only to kill people, but also to cripple economies?

This has been thouroughly debunked weeks ago.
The Pravda report that is was a measels/mumps cross was totally bogus.

The NIH has gene sequenced the virus and it is a simple Coronavirus. That is the common cold virus. It mutates constantly and there are hundreds of new variants out of China every year. This time we just got a really deadly one.

There is no indication that anyone anywhere has ever even considered using a Coronavirus for biowarfare. The virus mutates too quickly, that is the reason we have never had a vaccine for the common cold. There is no way anyone could protect their own population or troops because they couldn't develop an effective vaccination.

The more highly developed a nations healthcare, the less they will be harmed by SARS. Therefore the United States and Western Europe will gain in relative position over the rest of the world, and would be the only ones to profit.

The only even semirational biowar scenario would be if this were a NATO attack on the 3rd world.
