What do you mean do not worry about it. Think about what would happen if the vaccine is not made soon.

May strong survive and weak perish

jesus christ will you guys chill the-feck out. its a disease. In the long sad history of the world, there has always been more things to worry about than a bug killing a few dudes. take your medicin, fight another disease, then, one day a bigger disease will turn up and kill more folk, and we'll all run around screaming, making threads on websites saying "think of the children" and screaming like a girl then some doctor will cure it, each stage not realising that this is nature.

Diseases dont jump the animal/human gap without a reason y'know. In the large scale of things these deaths are purely incidental. In a year we will have forgotten all about it. But maybe the more intresting problem is that scientists are dicking about with genetics, creating super plants, resilient to insects so then a nature enhanced insect will come back and trouble the plant. The more we dick with nature to gain the total upper hand, the more nature will come to take it back, and then, we'll be trully afraid.

Leonhart, aerial transfer is overrated. Virii are very, very weak, and cannot survive open elements for more than a few seconds. Sunlight and its UV rays will toast it immediately. You have to be in close proximity with a carrier in an enclosed space to get yourself infected. You should worry about blood/fluid transferred diseases more.

To tell you the truth I was thinking the same thing but my health teacher told me and rest of the class that SARS can be transferred throught air so I have no clue who to believe.

Anyway I think this will be over in couple of weeks or days because with todays technology vaccine could be made easely.

May strong survive and weak perish

Of course your teacher was right to some degree that SARS virus can travel via air, but if you think that it can float from Canada to US or even across a street before it dies, I think you misinterpreted your teacher's saying.

Don't fret yourselves folks, you should be more worried about driving in a car, pnemonia, cancer, heart disease, electrocution and that psyco bitch you like to call a girlfriend than you should be of SARS.

Just food for thought.



I don't really run this place but I have an understanding with the people who do.

Hey, someone's being reading Stephen King again........

Anyway, SARS isn't the most dangerous virus ever. You're more likely to be killed by a car than by the virus. Besides, if you're good and healthy to begin with, with no adverse reaction to antiviral medication, an infection shouldn't be fatal. With enough care you'd be back on your feet in no time.

I just came back from a 4 days trip in Toronto. I even went to the Playdium - Sega City (big place with lots of arcades where you buy points on cards and where you swipe your card on an arcade to play ... ) and didn't catch anything. Okay, I was very careful and washed my hands 10 times but still

They say the media are exagerating ... But I'm not dead... yet !

Anyone remember West Nile Virus? This had the same media hype that SARS does, perhaps even more. The media made it sound like a giant epidemic sweeping across the nation, slowly but surely, and that it will kill us all. And then it faded away, never to be thought of again. I'm sure this exact same thing will happen with SARS. But if there's a chinese coverup, it might be something to worry about. Still though, in proportion to the population, extremey few have been infected, and extremely few of that few have died. Still sad, but given the odds of being infected and the odds of dying, you're probably more likely to jump to the moon with one try.

And all my happiness was flushed down the infernal toilet and sent straight to the sewers of hell...

you guys should worry more about AIDS...

strict measures are taken to handle this phatogen. It iwll be a matter of time before it can brought under control. Meanwhile lets worry more about poverty and world food problem...
