Sars

[HG Pennypacker]

I wonder what type of coverage this would be getting if we weren't in the middle of a war, right now. Me thinks the WHO is happy that it's relegated to page 20 of the papers, lest a panic ensue.

The normal mortality rate for influenza is between 0.1% and 0.49%. The mortality rate for SARS is already 3.5%. I'm sure that will substantially decrease when and if they identify the cause and develop a treatment.

Conspiracy theorists may immediately think it's bioterrorism, but I would think, more likely, it's Mother Nature flexing her muscles.

From everything i'm reading, this seems pretty serious, though. It appears that it is spread very easily and until a treatment is developed, there could be a very high death rate.

Scary times we live in.

If it's bio terroism then it came from terrorists in China or Hong Kong.

BTW, are you going to use the word "lest" more often. I like that word.

I'm going to try to use a new word every day. Tomorrow, I will try to fit "ennui" into a post.

Shit....I can almost see HP's desk right now...A brand new case of Antibact. soap and those white face guards! Sreaming at his office worker's to hode down before they enter his office...

All this crap comes from China or Hong Kong. These people pee in their drinking water or something?

Actually it is partly because many of them(Asians) live with their Farm Animals practically inside the house.

And no, I'm not talking about the farm animal stuff they seem to spam me with every day in email..

Being in a bit city would make me pull the jacko routine in crowds.

It's not a Bio Weapon, from the DNA genetic code of the virus you can tell it is a newly discovered virus from good old mother nature! However it lets the world know how dangerous a bio weapon can be!
