SARS! SARS! SARS!

I am so sick of hearing about SARS. Its being prompted in the media as some killer plaugue or something. I think more people die a day in car accidents than have died from SARS in the past 2 months...But I guess the public are hungry-er to hear about killer plagues than about how dangerous it is to drive or ride in an automobile.

The worldwide death toll reached at least 580, with more than 7,400 cases reported.

Lets do some mathy math shall we?

lets see 6 billion people divided by 580....that makes any individual in the world's chances of dying from the dreaded disease: 1 in 10344828 (roughly). I think more likely to win the powerball.

Aren't you frightened?
