Yes, SARS is thought to be caused by a coronavirus, while influenza is caused by a different virus.

Do a keyword search on "spanishflu" to see about the 1918 outbreak that killed millions. It also tapered off to almost nothing during the summer of that year.

I've read about the "spanishflu" of 1918, but I'm wondering if possibly the "spanishflu" could have been a coronavirus? I doubt it since scientists have probably been studying the Spanishflu under a microscope for years. I guess my point is that if your not careful reading these articles you might come to the conclusion that SARS is another deadly flu.
