AIDS kills everyone eventually so far, SARS kills 5.6% of the time, mortality rate stated by the CDC today.

My prediction: the AIDS lobby cannot help themselves, they feel everyone is out to get them anyway and they cannot stand to take a backseat to anyone in the realm of "whose disease is worse". They will be aghast at the idea that anyone would place SARS higher on the "Scary" list than AIDS and will work to keep funding for SARS (research, education, etc) from happening. Just a guess, of course.

I haven't really been following this story. What I do know is that the death rate from flu and pneumonia in this country is about 20 deaths per day. How do we know that SARS isn't just old fashioned pneumonia?

Dr Dixon said his main concern was rural, isolated areas in China and around the world. I don't get that. Why rural? I would think that cities would be the worst off.

Yes It's True......
THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END AND YOUR ALL GONNA DIE!
SARS: This is basically pneumonia. Its 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, thats 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 thats what should be called an epidemic.

It looks like Aides patients are really the first at risk with their compromised immune systems but it seems no one is safe at any age.
