"What really bothers me about this is that I've got a nasty chest cold right now. Got a little fever, a deep cough, and lots of bad stuff coming up when I cough. No different from the annual cold that I always seem to get, but its bothering me a little more since this SARS outbreak. "

I just got over (about 2 weeks ago) what you are describing. It was a nasty bronchial chest cold and I coughed up lots of sticky, stringy white stuff. I caught it from my dentist's assistant. My elderly mother just got over it, too. We are all fine again. So while I understand your worries in light of SARS, I think you are going to be ok soon. Good luck.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that I'll pull through. :^) I'm wondering, since this SARS thing is a virus, I would think that it would have varying affect on different people depending on how their individual immunities and condition. I'm not saying that I have it, but I suspect that some will get it and treat it like a common cold while others will deteriorate quickly.

Oh well, as for me, I was due. I skirted 2 colds that were going around through the winter. This one caught me.
