SARS: Preparing for Round Two If it returns, drug and vaccine makers hope to be ready
World health officials declare that the SARS epidemic has been stopped dead in its tracks. But in industry and government research labs, the work is just beginning. Scientists are rushing to develop diagnostic tests, drugs, and vaccines against the virus that has already killed more than 800 people. The hope is that these new weapons won't ever be needed. But the realistic expectation is that SARS is far from being beaten. "I think we're in a race not only to fight the ongoing disease, but also to be ready when it comes back -- which it will," warns Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy & Infectious Diseases. "This is not going away anytime soon."
