Oh, I forgot to mention something. SARS is not confirmed to be airborne-transmittable. It is suspected that it might be airborne, but until it is confirmed, the only sure way to get SARS is through close contact with a carrier( roughly a 1-meter radius).
In addition, the virus that causes SARS seems to be a mutant-variant of the Corona virus family.

That is true, though I still believe it is deadly[/QUOTE]Maybe so, but less then 4% of the recorded cases have resulted in death. There are many diseases out there that we already know of that have a much higher rate than that. Basically, if you want non-sensationalized information, don't look at any of the news stations or webpages, they are just trying to get ratings. Look at the CDC (center for disease control), the WHO (world health organization) and I'm sure there are other of these types of organizations that have non-sensationalized information, I just don't know about them, but please, share them if you know of them.
Heck, the first weekend the reports hit, CNN (or maybe MSNBC, can't remember) was calling it "Killer Virus" even though at that point hundreds had been infected, but only 4 people had actually died.
