The question that counts is the comparative kill rate of SARS vs common flu.
So far, about one in ten people don't survive SARS..and that with extreme
medical intervention.
If SARS becomes as common as common flu, does that amount to a 10%
population reduction?
If 3,600,000 people hit the emergency room ...just here in the USA ...and
go straight to intensive care every year..and survival depends on
respirators and such for a fair period of time, what then?
The death rate could be a LOT higher without treatment.
...AND SARS appears to be a lot more contagious. [sp?]
CONSERVATIVELY speaking... What if as many people come down with SARS as
comes down with flu every year? [Odds are that the numbers will be much higher]
If 3,600 die of common flu, how many don't die? I'll bet the kill rate
is a lot less than 10%
How many people survive without medical intervention? I don't think they
know as virtually every case they know about, they know about because it
showed up in the hospital and was diagnosed...and was treated... with some
difficulty at that.
But the odds don't look good...maybe as 'bad' as 10%?
The danger has been much understated.
Back in the early 1900s was it? A mere flu reduced the populations of
several countries, including the USA, by 30%. No one wants to remember
those bad old days so you don't hear much about it...but it happened.
It's probably why WW1 ended when it did. Virtually everyone got too sick
to fight and that particular bug probably killed more soldiers than all the
gassing.

SARS Quiz: Test Your Level of Intelligence
By
Leonard G. Horowitz, D.M.D., M.A., M.P.H.
Author of the national bestselling book
Emerging Viruses: AIDS & Ebola?Nature, Accident or Intentional?
Level 1:
It is April, have we not been fools?
Last year, didn?t more than 36,000 people die of the flu in the U.S.?
Weren?t they, almost all, elderly or very young?
Weren?t these victims, almost all, immune compromised?
Had not the major source of their weakened immunity been drug side
effects and vaccine-induced toxicity and autoimmunity?
Why was there nearly no mention about this widespread mortality from flu
in previous years, compared to SARS this year, which to date (April 16,
2003) has killed no one in America?
Alternatively, with zero deaths in the U.S. from SARS thus far, why has
so much media attention focused on this newest microscopic menace?
Why hasn?t the mainstream media asked these simple questions?
Level 2:
Why are SARS ?cases? and SARS mortality rates grossly overstated and
mixed-up in the press?
For instance, why are ?confirmed? and ?suspected? SARS cases grouped
together in most news reports, when the majority of ?suspected? ?cases?
turn out to be something other than SARS?
Why would public health officials, who know better, go along with the
false and misleading 4% death rate from SARS errantly established on this
inappropriate summing of ?confirmed? and ?suspected? SARS ?cases??
Why would epidemiologically trained public health officials completely
disregard the thousands, if not millions, of other people who got
SARS?people who never reported their illness and naturally healed without
quarantine, hospitalization, or expensive drugs?
Wouldn?t an honest projection of the SARS mortality rate seem miniscule
and irrelevant?
Wouldn?t that make the economic incentive from SARS seem miniscule and
irrelevant?
Would SARS?s irrelevance help or harm newspaper sales?
Would miniscule mortality rates help or harm health officials attempting
to justify their existence and increase their budgets?
Speaking of money, if contraindications and side effects of ribaviron
abound, and it has never been tested against the SARS-strain of
coronavirus to begin with, then why has it been recommended and
prescribed by those claiming ?authority? since the beginning of the SARS scare?
Level 3:
Is it true that conservatively 10 percent of Americans are
psychologically and/or pharmacologically predisposed to developing
debilitating phobias with potentially deadly social dysfunctions
resulting from their frights?
Is this mentally challenged population placed at highest risk from
mass-mediated fear campaigns?
Is it likely that more of these 27 million people in the U.S. alone have
suffered horribly from the SARS fright than those who have gotten SARS?
Is it likely far more of these people have died from phobia-induced
avoidance behaviors, like avoiding outside (i.e, social) contacts,
including life-saving services, in the wake of SARS coverage by the media?
Don?t public health officials realize this as they ?surf the SARS wave to
international fame??
Likewise, does this SARS fright reflect irresponsible journalism?
Level 4:
Is there a specialty field of science in public health and journalism
known as ?risk communication??
Does a Google search on the Internet reveal about 2,780,000 ?risk
communication? references with recommendations as to how to communicate
risks most efficiently without: a) harming the public; b) creating
phobias, and c) reinforcing irrational fears?
Doesn?t every public health official learn about this field of science
known as ?risk communication? during their professional training?
Doesn?t risk communication in public health, such as applied in the field
of AIDS education, seek to reduce irrational fears?
Hasn?t every public health professional with media spokesperson
responsibilities been made keenly aware of the need to communicate health
risks honestly and appropriately with this being the intended outcome?
Haven?t experts in behavioral science and public health developed ?risk
communication? protocols to assure the public is able to accurately
assess risks to their personal health from infectious diseases among
other threats?
Why has the entire field of ?risk communication? in public health, along
with full honest disclosure, been completely neglected in-so-far-as SARS
is concerned?
Level 5: Genius Level
If far more than 99.99% of people infected with SARS get well on their
own, how did they manage to do that without government involvement?
If these people?s healthy immune systems are primarily responsible for
their speedy recoveries, with all the warnings issued regarding SARS, why
haven?t our officials published a variety of practical immune boosting
recommendations?
Is it true that both fear and stress reduces natural immunity to
infectious diseases like SARS?
Is it true that herbal cures for coronavirus infections were published in
the scientific literature in 1995?
Is it true that government authorities have neglected to mention this fact?
Logically, then, if government health experts know all of the above, are
fueling fears while neglecting practical solutions, doesn?t it seem as
though they are actively increasing public risks and death rates?
Given the above, doesn?t ?criminal negligence? and ?public health
malpractice? best describe government officials? actions in response to
SARS, thus far?
Does less than 3% of America?s annual health budget go to prevention?
Does a ?stitch in time save nine??
?Is there a fox in the henhouse??
Is the third leading cause of death in the U.S. prescribed by doctors and
hospital staff?
Aren?t these the first people you think of seeing when you get sick?
If yes, are you mentally ill?
Answers: All ?Yes? or ?No? questions (except for the last two) are
definitively affirmative. If you got them correct, then there?s hope for
you. For the other questions, your guess is as good as mine . . . April fools.
