Deadly bug 'may spread easily' - GoFuckYourself.com

NoCarrier · 04-04-2003, 09:48 AM

Experts hunting the origins of a lethal pneumonia bug have found more evidence that it can be spread easily.
Five of the 24 cases of Sars (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) in the southern Chinese city of Foshan examined so far by a newly-arrived World Health Organization (WHO) team were caught despite the patient having no obvious contact with an infected person.

Experts now believe that, in some cases at least, the "infectious agent" involved can be spread either through airborne droplets - or perhaps linger on objects such as door handles.

Scientists first believed that only "close contact" - such as being sneezed on by a sufferer - could spread the infection.

If another route of transmission is confirmed, it could potentially make it far tougher to halt the outbreaks in China and elsewhere.

Perhaps this will be the disease that kills mankind

I sure hope that it's not spread that easily, that would suck. I'll have to build an air tight bunker under my house and just hide inside it, he he he

I would assume that the door handles and whatnot would be logical as a method of infection.

Nahhh.. Death rate is just a little higher than spanish flu. It's not going to kill everyone. The only problem with this virus is that 10 to 20% of people need a ventilator to survive. And if a pandemic occurs, we do not have millions of ventilator available.

I've just cancelled my planned trip to Hong Kong for later this month. I was really looking forward to it too.

Yeah, that's why I ordered masks as soon as they mentionned it.
If not, well, they will be useful for the next big one.
