so are you thinking that you had SARS?

I have to admit I am somewhat confused by the disease. They are putting all the quaranteened SARS travellers who are coming in to SF in a hospital about 6 blocks away from my house, so I started to read up. At first, SARS was characterized often as "about as deadly as the flu"- anybody else see that? So my sense was that if you were not elderly or not 100% healthy for some reason (aids patients around here) you needed to be very concerned. But for your average adult, you could shake the disease. Now, what I am seeing is a 7% mortality rate. Flu sure doesn't have that does it? Apparently 2 more cases died in toronto, so I guess that means toronto stays on the WHO trouble spots list.
