The mortality rate is about 3-5% and most people who contract it dont need hospitalization.
But I sure as hell dont want it.

i remeber once my highschool health/physed teacher said... aids was so hard to contract, he dared anyone to have hetro sex a much as possible without protection and he guaranteed none would contract it... that was 89....
this scare is more accute, but scarier... i'm not wearing a mask, but really ... i aint goin to any hospitals... [they are all closed in toronto] so really... unless you are dying of this disease... you get no treatment...

Great timing. Supposed to be coming to Toronto first week in June, lets hope this doesn't get any worse. Got to weigh up the pros and cons now - have a blow-out in Toronto and contract SARS... or stay at home and lose out on £1100. Tough call. What do you reckon?

i feel sorry for you guys in Toronto/Hong Kong/China, this thing is bad... they are finding out it's a highly contagious living airborne virus... somehow surgical masks need to be designed to be cool to wear... be very careful out there fellow NTers... stay steril!
