A mate emailed from Asia tonight saying that he'd read somewhere in the last few days that 3 times as many people had died of pneumonia and ordinary flu since the SARS outbreak than had died of SARS itself...food for thought I would think!!!
Of course it's not good...but I object to journos comparing it to 1919 for the sake of ratings.
I think SARS is probably here to stay and we'll just have to get used to it like comon flu...which kills 500000/year apparently worldwide...1369/day, every day, year in and year out!!
Lets keep some perspective here.
