Call it disasterbation, call it what you will… I’m scared of SARS. We’re talking 3-4% mortality, 10-15% requiring mechanical ventilation and a current spread rate of ~2% per day. At that rate – everyone on Earth will be infected within 6 months.

If the 3-4% mortaility rate holds – that’s 200-300 million dead.

And what if re-infection can occur?

Reported infections were up 15% yesterday in the US.
