The fatality number currently being used is OVER 90% of the cases. The reason they are using that high a number is that thus far, NO ONE has recovered. Until someone gets well, they have no way to estimate the fatality rate.


There have also been two cases in British Columbia - unrelated to the Ontario infections - where one person remained in hospital Saturday and the other has recovered

Seven more people -- including five hospital staff -- have developed symptoms of the virus in Singapore, bringing the total number of cases to 16, the health ministry said on Saturday. All the patients, except for two that have been discharged, are in a stable condition, it said.

You come and see me child

Actually, this article in the Vancouver Sun has a different take on the survivor story. Says the person had symptoms but did not have the infection. I know that sounds weird but it may just be that the person was paranoid or something and had thought she had symptoms. Anyway, it appears that this person did not get the disease and then survive.
