The writer has misused the death rate as a very misleading argument to dismiss the danger of SARS. The danger of SARS is not death, but the high risk of getting it unknowingly.
Every lift button, escalator hand rail, door knob and handle, public phone, keyboard, teller machine and thousands of other very innocent daily items can get you infected.
Come one, tell me, arent these daily items MUCH MUCH more common than skin cancer, people on a ladder, car crash, rapist and dog bites?

You're right. The scary thing about SARS is that there's no practical way to protect yourself. Unlike AIDS, for example, which is a very preventable disease.
