* Sar Wars * Jay, more thoughts to think: straitstimes.asia1.com.sg < Faced with increasing pressure to come clean over the true extent of a mysterious pneumonia outbreak, the Chinese authorities revealed yesterday that 34 people have died and at least 797 have been infected by the disease since last November. These figures are more than six times the number of deaths and twice the number of infections that Chinese health officials confirmed previously.... contd...> So that's about 1000 people infected and 40 dead. That's a 5% kill rate [deaths lagging the infection rate somewhat]. With the recovered people perhaps permanently damaged, that's a LOT of damage and death and cost. It seems to be a very slow propagation rate, so unless it gets a virulence mutation or two, which might easily happen with increasing numbers of the virus experimenting with nature, it should still be manageable and maybe even be defeated. Sar Wars has now achieved more casualties than there have been Coalition of the Willing casualties. Mqurice
