I actually buy the theory of this US vet about most of US people already immune to SARS. There is zero evidence for this that I know of. The SARS virus sequence is way different than other human coronaviruses - in fact it seems to be a mixture of three different animal coronaviruses. Peter

for hui and Yiwu. This is the most serious emergence of a disease, with the exception of AIDS, in 50 years( when Polio was rampaging still). Why, because it is spread by air borne droplets(a cough from one person can pass it to any near by), in other words this virus moves, via ships,trains, airplanes and cars, whatever; and carries a 4-5% kill factor. That WHO as soon as they picked up on the airflight to Germany having 4 with symptons (called in by a doctor on the plane who had treated a patient and noted during the flight he was developing the symptoms of Sars)---if WHO had not immediately Quarantined that plane and set out its' highest emergency alert, this could be FAR worse right now, than it is--far worse. You should be grateful for the action WHO took, not critical. But i will leave you conspiracy theory folk think what you want.
