"actually seems to have a mortality rate of about 10% to 20%..."

What is the mortality rate when broken into age groups. I remember the ecoli death scare and every single victim was either over 70 or under two. It just made the rest of us have to sit on the toilet for a while.

I am wondering if the same is true here, at least to some degree.

I really do not know any exact figures. I do know some otherwise healthy people in their thirties and forties have died from this disease but I have no idea what the rates are for young healthy people. I also do not know of what the tteratment regimine should be but i am oresuming the medics are working that out. I do know that the best estimate of mortality for the disease is in the 15% range for those who have had the full course of the disease and either recovered or died.
