I think I read some place lately that McGeer has recovered. I wonder if cases caught from mild and undeveloped cases tend also not to be severe.

Sadly, no.

One of the early hopes was that SARS would burn itself out. One sign of this would have been that victims with a mild case only pass on mild cases. However, mild cases have been repeatedly shown to pass on severe cases. There is no sign of weakening even after the virus has passed through 15 generations.

I read somewhere (OMG LOL) that a milder case can pass on a seiver case.

There was a patient in hospital that recovered and the nurse who treated him died.

There was some talk on some threads that very mild case could pass on a more seiver case. But above is the only example I can remember off hand.
