% recovered doesn't make sense. In China, 60% have recovered, whereas in Hong Kong, only 31% have recovered. That probably means that China has reported cases which weren't actually Sars. Perhaps common influenza which resolved as normal.

China's %mortality compared with those infected = 6%
Hong Kong's %mortality compared with those infected = 7%

The numbers don't match for some reason. 60% vs 30% is a huge difference and not explained by China having suffered the infection for a longer period of time. Maybe China has younger people with fewer health problems.

Canada's 9% mortality of those infected is huge!! They were 80% elderly and unwell people, as per previous posts, so that would explain that excessive mortality rate.

It seems that old people are going to be killed in hordes around the world if the infectious diseases experts are right that the chance to kill the bug off has been lost. China seems to be the main problem. Other countries aren't getting runaway infection.

Singapore also has a high %mortality, 9%.
