Here is what I read so far from HK, Taiwan, and Google. (wish got something from China but...none)
the SARS is not as deadly as TB, most peopel will recover within few days (4-7 days) with or without medical treatment.
about 10% or SARS will develop into serius problem, and most of them will recover if treated early.
if you look up CDC's stac. out of 1500+ cases about 50+ of them die. so what we got is about 2.5+-%. is that a problem? I don't konw, depands on how lucky you think you are.
I think the the rate will go down to less than 0.1% due to more peopel are aware of it. (IMO, everyone know about flu, so what?)
should you worry about hit by it? DO YOU FELL LUCKY?

most likely, you won't get it, if you get it, most likely you don't even noticed the minor flu, if you are seriusly ill, most likely you will recover, if you don't recover, most likely, you will die, and if you die, most likely you will go to hell (just IMO), and if you go to helll, you will be too busy to shaking hand with all your friends (anand OT?), you won't even worry a bit.
