Here's a dilemma: IF hospitalization is needed and IF hospitals are breeding grounds for resistant strains of germs - what then.

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.
