55 cases, 42 deaths = 76% death rate and I suppose as with sars, a couple of those are hanging in the balance and could die. That's 80% death rate. That's about as bad as it gets. The bug is so vicious that those infected don't go on to infect others by walking down the street. They are dead! And unlike sars, people are dying in a few days [I think that's correct]. So .. Does killing the 'host' also kill the virus ?? If so you'd think the virus would evolve into a less virulent form .. In any event a +76% death rate is shockingly bad news .. Triff ..
