I had SARS 22 years ago. 28 days in ICU, lost 30 lbs even though intubated, last rites, etc. my immune system was compromised for two years. Laryngitis of unknown cause for four months and... shingles. Not a horrible case in my scalp and head . lots of pain and jumbling of the nerves for a while. I could run my finger along my eyebrow and feel it on the top of my head.

Talk about bad luck. There were fewer than 9,000 known cases of SARS-1 worldwide. And it had a mortality rate of over 8%.
