It scares me.

 

I was thinking that the reported infection count ect, Isn't so bad, I mean considering Chinas population, But you can only guess how many "might" have it as well.

It doesn't seem like it will be impossible to cure but..

 

i think our country is still safe from SARS but i guess we cant be sure of that..

 

damn, i'm too close to it. it definetly makes me a little paranoid about frantically coughing people. luckily, i haven't seen any, so i should be alright. i think theres been 4 cases in my city, but i belive they've quarantined themselves in their homes or something.

 

actually I was planning to China, but after hearing about this I postponed my trip

 

Well its already in Canada, In very small numbers, Canada is kinda close to the US :|

 

In canada there seems to be alot of cases recently. Luckily live twards the west so im a little more safe than easterners. But still it frightens me that they have no cure.

 

well, there were some cases in the US with flight that landed in san jose, but they were ready (what with the warning from whats happened in canada)

 

well at present, we have no SARS cases so far... although there are some people who are contained... those who came from countries infected with the virus...

 

Is it just me, cuz i have an itchy feeling in the back of my mind that this disease isn't caused by nature, but by man.

I just have this nagging feeling that this is a biological weapon.

 

I dont know if my country have it , but our neighbours , thailand and singapore have it..

 

Well....it's unconfirmed in our country.......but it sure scares the living crap outta me.

 

Yeah , today ...even some weird smell draws the suspicion of us..LOL...

 

LOL come on now don't stray that much off topic
But gamer1, why'd you say man made??

 

We have a lot more to fear from STDs, cancer, heart attacks, (insert diseases) than SARS right now. Unless SARS cases balloon, I think it's being overly feared. In the U.S., there are...what, 90 cases of SARS? I bet there are more than 90 cases of STDS in Podunk, Iowa.

 

Well...SARS spread faster then the speed of light to the power of 6 but things Ryos mentioned move slower then my grandma

 

A lot of people have fallen ill here the past weeks. It must be the flu, but I can't help being caught by the wave of paranoia... :eyes:

 

Well , It's some kind of mutated cell of some sort...
Guess god created a new kind of disease

 

SARS infected countries are pretty close to mine, so Im worried that sooner or later cases may start appearing over here.
I heard that being healthy helps preventing SARS infection, btw.

 

Pre-cautions against SARS:
- Don't go to crowded areas
- Stay away from affected areas
- Always be clean
- Wash ur hands often

anymore tips?

It's regular flu and cold season still in a lot of places (including my city). I doubt it has anything to do with SARS.

 

>Don't go to crowded places
School!!!!!
>Stay away from affected areas
Like we know where it is
>Always be clean
Bring a bottle of antiseptic with you wherever you go
>Wash your hands often
Really?? Wow, thats new

 

isn't SARS an airborn virus? just because your hands are clean, doesn't mean you're safe. hence the masks people are wearing.

 

At least it's not as deadly as Influensa,was it vintage 1924?

 

or the black plague
that was bad news...
