Thousands of provincial businessmen, migrant workers and college students, most of them wearing protective masks, crowded railway stations and rushed onto buses today, feeling they would be safer elsewhere and ignoring official appeals for people to avoid travel that could expose them to the virus and disseminate it around the country.

Indeed.

I've been Mr. Happy face about SARS so far, but it seems that this could get ugly.

Does anyone have the link to that well-done webpage of "per loin" showing all of the current case numbers of SARS around the world? I saw it on the computer at work but don't have it at home. Thanks!

My-o-my it's SARS again .....

THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END AND YOUR ALL GONNA DIE!


SARS: This is basically pneumonia. It’s been reported that in the US, with a population of 280 million, there are about 50,000 deaths each year from pneumonia. That is 137 deaths per day. The world population of 6 billion would translate into 2,932 deaths per day from pneumonia. Now let me see, SARS is an epidemic, a pandemic, holly-cow, it's killing everyone. SARS has killed many less that 1,000 people in a month. And people all over the world are running around with surgical mask over their faces! As the now dead, Bill Cooper used to say these people are “Sheep-people”. This is how you know you are being feed BS!


Epidemic – Pandemic: During the Influenza (Pneumonia) Epidemic of 1918-19 over 30 million died world wide, that’s 41,667 deaths per day. With a world population of about 4.5 billion versus 6 billion today that would mean a daily death toll of 55,556 today.


Now that’s what should be called an epidemic.

Just a thought but is it at all possible that SARS was
a Biological Experiment gone awry?

The speed with which it spreads and it's mutating all
along, I just wonder.
