I have heard that some feel that SARS is actually "Atypical Pneumonia" which happens to not respond
to meds that work on other pneumonia. It would not be such a media darling except for the fact that
doctors and hospital staff are dying from it too.
When the doctors are scared, everybody hears about it. One good thing is that they will be working extra hard
on finding a cure/treatment/prevention/vaccine. Who knows, maybe the common cold will also be history.
