"1.antibiotics to deal with the mycoplasma at the early stages of the disease"

That is saying that all SARS has myco at the beginning?

eTiwan News May 28,2003 that I cant get to come up, says "A sampling of 32 reported pneumonia cases which tested negative for the SARS virus,found that 50% of them were caused by mycoplasma,36 %".... what is the rest of that?

One of Betty Jo's links led me to a SARS page at Black Hawk College in Moline IL that I found very interesting.

One of their links was a set of SARS predictions made on April 23rd.
Those predictions assumed that 'if' SARS were not containable worldwide and if it kept spreading (under various scenarios), where would the numbers be all the way out thru October 31st 2003:

Their chart shows 3 columns, worst-case, best-case, and AVERAGE. I feel their column called "AVERAGE" represented their 'most likely' scenario. I also feel the number in that column predicted for TODAY was pretty close to right-on! 16-June = 17,000 'probable' PLUS 'suspected' patients to date.

[I feel the news media should not have completely ignored the 'suspected' cases because hospitals still need to treat those patients the same, AND many go on to being 'probable', or even die. Hospitals still fill up from 'suspected' patients, and it is taking as long as 14-21 days for 'suspected' cases to get converted to the 'probable' category in some areas.]

Here are some extractions from their 'most likely' column, PREDICTED IN APRIL!

June 16.... 17k 'probable' and 'suspected' cases to date (worldwide)
June 30.... 26k 'probable' and 'suspected' cases to date
July 31.... 61k 'probable' and 'suspected' cases to date
Aug 31....145k 'probable' and 'suspected' cases to date
(I'll stop there because the naysayers will scream) but remember if these numbers are close, that is when Asian freshmen students will be packing up and flying to USA colleges and 'dorm'ing with our children.

Oh, and let's not forget how sloppy Canada got after it's travel warning was lifted...
China has JUST HAD it's travel warnings lifted in most of those areas with bogus containment curves that abruptly flatlined.
