SARS disease

still is a little bit overrated

no, we'll adjust

probably....but many could die b/f it's all over

yea Julie

sad......isn't it....

yes it is

Hang on, I think it is misleading to compare it to Ebola Virus. I am sure your definition is scientifically correct but that could mis-represent how dangerous this disease is. Ebola kills almost everyone who catches it. This only kills about six people in 100, mostly elderly or otherwise ill.

Globally, it is a non-event. It will pass. Compare malaria, which kills more people in Africa each day than SARS has in its entire lifepsan.

I was comparing the way the ebola affects your system, not the virus itself

but dually notedf.

I would still avoid the cities the WHO have put off limit, even if the risk isn't as high as is being suggested.

Watch out for the andromeda strain!!!!

This may be it! 😮

I don;t see what the point of avoiding Toronto is, though, as all its sick are confined. Mind you I heard Toronto had been remoeved from the list after some thought. Haven't checked that yet, though

If I had a choice to go to Toronto or Vancouver - I would probably go to the latter.

There is no point in exposing yourself to risk, regardless of how small that risk maybe.

Yet you cross the road every day. The risk is SO negligible as to be not worth your while.

The WHO seems to have thought different.

Maybe we should rename this the Crappy Diseases thread.

What are the symptoms of SARS, PS?

But the WHO made a mistake, Raz. They have lifted the ban already and the head of the WHO has said they may have erred.

It was clearly premature.

aids is worse.

No duh, BF. It keeps you from getting laid. 🙁

not that i have to worry abou that right now anyways 🙁

Why not? Still emotionally damaged from that last bitch?
