Unfortunately, there is no reliable test for SARS and there is no cure. The death rate is in the range of 10%. It is out of control in China. Without drastic measures, I see no reason for it not to become endemic world wide.

According to US Department of Health and Human Service, 90 to 95% of all respirators in the US are in use during flu season already.

A recent documentary I saw on TV said that 36000 people die of the flu in the US every year. I'm providiing this stat (if true), just as a comparative number.
