SARS the deadly disease is not that deadly

Do you remember SARS? When the story broke about this outbreak in Canada, people were scared to travel or even be in Canada - especially Montreal.

They even had a giant concert that featured the Rolling Stones and AC/DC to attract people back.

The actual recovery rate from SARS is 95% to 98%. This is actually better than influenza.

The SARS epidemic was even spoofed on Sout Park in an episode called Red Man's Greed. Here it was discovered that the cure for SARS was Chicken Noodle Soup and Sprite.

So if you have SARS, the cost of recovery and the SARS cure will be about $2.00
