When one enterprising doctor treating SARS in Anatolia decided to check the entire population of the village where 2 or 3 had died rather than just the ones who presented symptoms, he found that ALL tested positive.

Really? SARS has never been reported in Turkey.

SARA was most definitely reported in Turkey. It was about the last gasp of the press hustle. The one village is the only place that got any attention. I don’t know where else in the area it was but if a whole village was positive then chances are it was a lot more widespread than that one village. As I recall Vietnam was one of the centers of it and at first I read about all the many deaths. Later it turned out to have been a very small number and consistent with a not very large flu outbreak except that the only people reported as having the disease were the ones who went to the hospital so the “rate” was high. How many people go to the hospital with flu? I never even went to a doctor back when I was getting that sort of thing.
