A opinion that needs some research.Not a very good one,but its yours.


As SARS is new that's all we can do is speculate and that speculation came from a CDC spokesperson. She stated that the mortality rate would be much higher than influenza, which kills about 20-30K per year in the US alone (elderly

The unpredictability that super-spreaders bring to the expanding epidemic poses a challenge not just in bracing for the continuing spread of SARS, but in predicting its future. To forecast what might happen, a task called modeling, researchers must assume that a case of SARS passes on the disease to an average number of people, called the basic reproductive number.
