Yeah, you are right, I said closed to 80% is recovery rate, but all these rate is hindsight, so actually death rate might change when this thing is all over, if it will, hopefully.

<The WHO says that the SARs cases it has been tracking have a 4% mortality rate. >

Nadine, that's incorrect. Yes, the WHO says it, but they are wrong. Infection precedes dying. The 4% is total dead vs total infected to now. What matters is probability of dying once you get the infection. It's more like 7%. See Message 18827208

Your mileage may vary = USA doesn't get 1% dead [depending on what they are measuring = maybe they call other things sars or they have a puny bug there; sars low cal, or sars-lite.
