"Why does death rate seem higher in more advanced countries?"

This is curious since the last I heard as of several days ago, there had been no deaths in the US from SARS.

Has this suddenly changed?

No

I have been saying for a few days that there are several different strains of SARS and this has proven true. The strain from the metropole hotel in Hong Kong is what went to Toronto. It is the real deal. The cases we have had in America haven't been all that serious.

The doctor that started the Metropole outbreak as another freeper noted had probably been exposed to a witches brew of different strains while he was treating patients.

No deaths in the US from SARs yet.
