SARS disease
Damn, that thing is pretty bad isn't it? The death total has reached over 350, and 12 died today (April 29th). Started in China, now stretching out to other neighboring countries, including New Zealand.
So, what are your views about the disease? No doubt that you'll all think it is horrible.

It is a nonsense. It is the worst killer outbreak ever- worst as in most feeble. As I keep telling you, Narcil, you are about 100 times more likely to be run over on the way to the airport than catch SARS in Toronto, let alone die of it.
It's not nice, obviously, but it has been blown way out of all proportion.

Yeah, 6,000,000,000,000 people in the world and only 350 cases, the drama queen media has blown yet another story way out of proportion.
But everytime I sneeze, I'm convinced I have SARS

does anyone else notice that in China there is a rapid death toll, but in the US, no one has died from it....perhaps based on a countries medical technologies that makes this not as horrible a disease as everyone makes it out to be.
Alright, here's what SARS is for those that don't understand the disease,
Reasons for the death tolls is that SARS is very much like the Ebola Virus, it gets into your cells and plays with your DNA changing it slightly, and in some cases of strands the people's white antibodies can't detect there is a problem within the cells. Some DNA strands can figure out something is not right, and this also is most, and WHO has discovered which of the strands are more suceptable to SARS.
Also if you want another comparison on how the vaccine they are attempting to make will be like, it will be like the small pox vaccine. They will insert some of the virus into your DNA, and it will alter your strand to reconginze the abnormality that SARS produces. So that your white blood cells with be able to understand that SARS is in your system.
My friend's dad is a really big scientist, and she was telling me how it all works....again, my friend is not normal...she has an IQ of 160 and last summer was paid by the government to further her reasearch on something to do with oceanology...so I can assure everyone that I do know a little of what I am talking about.

Not sure there will be a vaccine too quickly, after all it is somewhat related to the common cold and we have not found a vaccine for that yet. Admittedly the common cold is no where near as deadly but we still do not have a vaccine after many years.

thousands of years ago, the common cold was deadly, heck even a hundred years ago it was, but immune systems change, and we adapt, or we die. Just as this probably will happen.
