"7,864 cases, including 643 deaths in 30 countries"
"Dr. Julie L. Gerberding, the director of the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, has said that health officials will need to remain
vigilant against the danger that one case may cause an explosion at any
time. So if SARS is here to stay, fire brigades of health workers will be
needed to squelch brush fires every time a case is imported into a
country."
The consensus fatality rates seem to be in the 15-20% range at
this time -- so its a *nasty* piece of work.
