The vast majority of those with SARS develop a fever. This is less pronounced in older patients. However, the fever develops several days after the infection, so there is a reasonable chance that the New Zealander was infected in flight, since he developed the fever several days after arriving in Russia (in western Siberia in the Ural Mountains).

The beat goes on. Now WHO is saying it is VERY possible that the new version this season can't be transmitted person to person!

The virus has hired a PR firm to issue press release to calm the masses!

Mqurice, I wrote up "More Nonsense?" which refers both to a type of mutation as well as WHO comments on new SARS CoVs being unable to transmit human to human

It explains why a key mutation, found in almost all human isolates last season, is on the near term horizon for this season.
