>>Missing from the list of dead are a fair share of European young people [under age 50]. Dead Europeans were nearly all quite old and frail. But dead Asians were healthy and younger [though not under 40]. <, I think you are getting a distorted view from selective media reports. The report showing mortality rates of 50% for older (above 60) patients came out of Hong Kong. Although a few younger patients died in Asia, the vast majority were older. The situation was pretty much the same across the board. Mortality rates were much higher in older patients, especially those with underlying conditions like diabetes. Chinese had higher numbers because SARS originated in Guangdong Province, not because they were more susceptible.
