I just read that the anti viral protocols were working. I think you've got to get it in them ASAP. What worries me is that the first born females in the worker's paradise of China that have managed to stay alive might not exactly get preferential treatment in this nightmare disease.
Good luck Zook and if G-d forbid you get symptoms, RUN to a doctor ASAP.
Oh yeah, one more thing, they were showing on the local Sacramento propaganda outlet that a Doctor (I think) had it and survived. Isn't that like getting a vaccination? In other words, could they use the anti-bodies (is that the right term) to create a vaccination from the survivors?
A lot of diseases, like the common cold, which were thought for years to be airborne are really contact-borne (not smallpox unfortunately; that's airborne). But a study shown some time back on ABC 20-20 (I think - I remember this report though haven't found a cite for it) proved that the common cold viruses didn't spread through the air, only by contact. Studies have been done on this, showing how often people touch their mouths and noses, usually unconsciously. SARS may also be spread like this.
So the same preventive measures for common cold may also help avoid SARS.
Some specific ideas:
-Keep your hands away from your face.
-Keep your hands clean and carry hand cleaner/antiseptic gel (all this must be tough for obsessive-compulsives; they've been proven partially right).
-Hot salt water gargle, I'm told, actually changes the chemical environment in your throat so that viruses can't live as easily in it. That's why it helps with sore throat. Have so far not found any double-blind studies or research reports which prove this. But it's not expensive to try. See Salt Water Gargle and Other Virus Remedies.
. Zinc supplements and nasal spray/gel; see e.g. http://www.drhoffman.com and go to the "Coldbusters" link. This actually features a research report on why zinc works on rhinoviruses. SARS may be affected similarly.
