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?

I don't think that orphans in a State run Orphanage would get any special treatment for SARS. In fact, if one of them had it, I suspect the whole orphanage would get it as they re-use needles. Now, in a PRIVATE Orphanage, where they baby was already sold or up for sale, the treatment would improve.

In other words, could they use the anti-bodies (is that the right term) to create a vaccination from the survivors?

They are making some progress; in fact, last Wednesday, they announced that they have identified exactly which virus we are dealing with. Once they start getting some surviver antibodies, they can begin to work on a vaccine. It's going to be a race to get a vaccine ready before the Fall flu season hits in the US.

My understanding, is that this has it's worst effect on the very young because their immune systems are not up to par yet, and the elderly, because their immune systems are failing. Of course there would be serious consequences for those who already have lung disorders, those with HIV, other immune affecting diseases .. and perhaps smokers would have a higher mortality rate.
