Credit to the health workers for making the death toll as low as possible. In fact, credit and my gratitude to the Italian who first identified the virus, realised its' potential danger, but unfortunately, lost his life to it.
The thing is, SARS was noted extremely early and those who died were mostly those who did not receive early treatment. What is scary about SARS is not really about its' deadliness, but how infectious it is. One roomful of people can be infected if one of them was a carrier and he/she just sneezed. Hence all the quarantines( well... in my country. Not sure about the others).
