[E. Pluribus Unum]

You seemed to be interpreting it to mean that SARS was responsible for 30% of the death of people over 70.

Where did I say that? I defy you to find it.

[Mr. Mulliner]

500 / 50,000,000 = 0.001% of the deaths expected this year are due to SARS.

Forgive me if I misunderstood, but this statement that you made above is a comment on what percentage of deaths is caused by SARS. That seems like a non sequitur if not a misunderstanding of the meaning of the statistics you had quoted above which were statements about what percentage of SARS victims ended up dying.

You do seem a bit riled up about this. Is it that you are so excited because this SARS thing is now playing into your paranoid fear of the government's anti-terrorism efforts and you want us to all latch onto that paranoia too?
