sars death rate of 3% times 6 billion people equals 180 million deaths.

The mortality rate should reduce from what I understand. Most people will not have access to help though I think. (like hospital treatment or vaccines and drugs)

I think it is worse than flu though I agree with your view that panic and hysteria is a bigger problem.
