"...No antibiotics appear to work against SARS. The antiviral drug ribavirin has been used by a number of doctors, but its effectiveness remains unclear. During yesterday's meeting, doctors agreed to quickly organize a study to determine ribavirin's usefulness..."
Earlier they were saying a couple antibiotics did work against it? Wtf.

If it's a virus, antibiotics won't do shit.. HOwever they may possibly help with secondary infections that might aggrivate SARS. Antivirulants MAY help to some degree, but as a virus isn't like bacteria and can't be "killed" per se, even antivirulants are sketchy as best, as far as combating it. I hope my little guys have good immune systems.. Hell I hope I do too
