Steroids are absolutely not the answer (and fortunately I don't see them being mentioned as a treatment this time round).

Professor Yuen Kwok-Yung, one of HK's "experts" is on record from the time of SARS (South China Morning Post, 9 May 2003) as saying that SARS wasn't generally what killed otherwise healthy people then - it was the panic reaction of the medics who overdosed them with steroids, thereby turning their immune system off and causing them to die from whichever bug next passed by and which their body no longer had a defence against. Many more people survived this "treatment" but were maimed for life. The HK Government has spent several hundred million HK$ in compensation and ongoing support to those unfortunates.
