This suggests that it will be quite difficult to manufacture a vaccine for SARS as well as to suggest that no one is permanently immune to the disease even if they have recovered from it.

It may suggest that it will be difficult to make a SARS vaccine that provides total immunity, but I think it also suggests it will be possible to manufacture one that provides considerable resistance, probably enough to save most victims' lives.

I was thinking along those lines. Let's face it-this thing can't, in it's current form be allowed to spread around the globe. At least not without ushering in a new dark ages.

I don't think I am being overly dramatic.

"probably enough to save most victims' lives."

That's a good start. That will prevent the medical crisis overload that Hong Kong is in. I hope they get this quickly.

I still think this wasn't an accidental release. That first Doc who brought this to Hong Kong did *not* infect his family but managed to tell the hospital staff how extremely virulent this bug was.
