This thing is somewhat over-blown with the help from media. Isn't every year, there would have a couple of, maybe a dozen of, dead of flu too? Within the past few days, I heard on TV (probably CNN) that there are 40,000 deaths from influenza in the U. S. each year, although the death rate from SARS is currently 3%. So I'm somewhat inclined to agree with you. Don't just take my word for it; here are a couple of links: cdc.gov "Epidemics of influenza typically occur during the winter months and are responsible for an average of approximately 20,000 deaths/year in the United States." jsonline.com "An average of 36,000 Americans died from flu or its complications each year throughout the 1990s, vs. 20,000 per year during the previous two decades, a number on which flu estimates have long been based. As many as 50,000 died in bad flu seasons."
