Part of the problem with figuring out the risk from SARS is China's unwillingness to be completely transparent about the statistics. Maybe they have come clean now, maybe not. I am working on a chart - but realize that the statistics are really meaningless without full information. Just a taste: Cumulative number of reported cases of SARS: 3/17/03 - 167 3/25/03 - 456 3/31/03 - 1622 4/2/03 - 2223 Cumulative number of deaths attributed to SARS: 3/17/03 - 4 3/25/03 - 17 3/31/03 - 58 4/2/03 - 78 But it's impossible to do a real time line without real data from China.
