The Sars mortality for European people [genetic European - though maybe immunologically 'European' or some other variable such as ventilator care, diet, diagnosis or something] seems to be near zero. What's going on with that?
Also, the UN shouldn't call Taiwan "China Taiwan". It's Taiwan. A distinct place with no governance from China. I couldn't find it quickly on the list who.int because of that bit of politics. China has already shown the cost of their stupid political attitude. Heaps of dead people who wouldn't have been infected [yet anyway] if they'd acknowledged the Sars disaster, incipient catastrophe, in the early stages.
Of 79 cases in non-Chinese countries, there have been no deaths. Except that Toronto has a very high death rate.
Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Mongolia, Philippines, maybe Indonesia, seem to be the death zone. Other than Toronto, which is a mess. Taiwan and Japan have cases, but no deaths.
Why? This doesn't seem to be something all humans suffer from equally, or diagnosis is wrong, or something. Where it does kill, it's horrendous.
