So how come no one in the US has died of this yet if it is so deadly? I would really like to see the statistics on the ages, other health problems, and type of medical care recieved by those who have died. Also how long those who died waited before going to the hospital.

The vets' logic is: if those coronavirus existed in cats are that deadly and contagious as the strain that we are witnessing now, the virus would have wiped out all cats years ago. But that doesn't make sense because viruses mutate all the time ---what could have been a fairly benign virus years ago may have converted into something more pathologic ---that's why there are constantly new colds and flus. I guess no one knows where this SARS came from yet ---if it's in some animal host, a wild resorvior ---maybe it's one of those viruses that doesn't make it's natural host very ill but is more dangerous to humans.
