This question is not posed out of any disrespect for the victims of the disease or their survivors. I'm simply curious about cold statistics on various dangers to people.
Aren't many more people killed each year, around the world, by either snakes or pigs (never mind the thousands of car accidents, with or without cell-phone use...), although few of these cases might happen in towns or cities?
Good luck with the toxic rumour mill, Cathay Pacific.
