Dumb question: Is SARS lethal? All I've hared is that you get a high fever and flu like symptoms. Doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me. :dunno:

yep you will die within 10days.
The word acute used in medical terms = deadly, death, fatal.

President Bush (news - web sites) issued an executive order on Friday allowing the forced quarantine of patients with a mysterious new illness that has killed 80 people, as well as patients with other diseases such as Ebola (news - web sites).
The order allows the Health and Human Services (news - web sites) secretary to decide when such a quarantine is needed.
It calls for the "apprehension, detention or conditional release of individuals to prevent the introduction, transmission or spread of suspected communicable diseases."
It names Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, which has affected a suspected 115 people in the United States and 2,400 worldwide, killing around 80.
The order also names cholera, diphtheria, infectious tuberculosis, plague, smallpox, yellow fever and viral hemorrhagic fevers such as Ebola, Lassa and Marburg.

Yeah I don't think we have much to worry about in the US.
Did you know that the guy who discovered SARS died of SARS?
