Think of SARS as (for all you Stephen King fans) as "The Stand Lite." It is an amazingly infectious bad viral infection with a 5% mortality rate.

In Hong Kong, the death rate is 19% of final despositions (deaths + recoveries).

Please pardon a dumb question from a newbie here:

Is there a quote function on this board? Thanks in advance.

I read somewhere where SARS is being overdiagnosed (colds and flus being misdiagnosed as SARS) and that SARS death rate may be a lot higher than 5%

Wow, 19%. *boggle*.
