I am confused.

Forgive me if I don't remember this correctly, but it was my understanding that SARS was originally said to be a form of the virus which causes the common cold.

Can anyone tell me if the cold virus and clamydia virus really are *that* similiar?

And if truth be told, I'm finding myself becoming increasingly uneasy at hearing the daily SARS-related information.

"cold virus and clamydia virus"

Chlamydia is an intercellular bacteria. It lives within the cells of the host, unlike other bacteria that live within the spaces between cells. It has it's own cellular membrane and some organelles.

Virus is composed of genetic material within a protein coat. The protein coat is used to protect the genetic mat'l while the virus is outside a cell. The protein coat is disguarded when the genetic mat'l enters a cell host.
