grrr.. Look at this:
http://www.who.int/csr/sars/en/
You are right about the number of cases, but just a few weeks ago, there were LOTS of new cases every day, and it increased so much that the entire population of the world would be infected before december or so. The number of casualties was "only" about 10% of the number of cases, BUT the number of recovered cases (excuse my english. hehe..) was low too. That could mean that many of those who were still sick could die within a month or so, and THAT would mean maybe 15-30% would die. SARS seems to only kill people with bad immune system, which means old people, already sick people AND HIV-infected people. In Africa, it would maybe kill 40% or so, if it had continued like it looked like it would. (again, excuse my english..
)
