True, but what conditions are the victims in?

That's yet another variable. I would think, though, that Canadians would be quite similar to us in terms of overall health, nutrition, etc. Our lack of SARS deaths here in the US could just be a temporary anomaly that will, sadly, be "corrected" all too soon. We just don't know enough now.

The place where I'm most worried about SARS gaining a foothold is North Korea. With virtually no health care system and so many North Koreans on the brink of starvation, it could wipe out a huge percentage of the population there, and the ensuing panic and flood of refugees could very well destabilize the entire region.

I'm curious, since you seem to be alot more educated on this subject than I am. What is the current status of SARS cases in India, Pakistan, the Middle East and Africa? Those regions would create havoc if there is a major outbreak there, I would think.
