More than one billion people could be infected by the deadly SARS virus within a year - GoFuckYourself.com

MORE than one billion people worldwide could be infected by the deadly SARS virus within a year, a leading UK scientist has warned.

Dr Patrick Dixon, a specialist in predicting global trends based at London's Development Management School, said SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) had the potential to turn into a pandemic and infect more people than AIDS.

The grim prediction comes as a Melbourne infection control specialist warned the virus could destroy Third World countries.

Glenys Harrington, who flew to Manila yesterday to join the World Health Organisation's assault on SARS, said the virus was a major threat to developing nations.

"Countries that are Third World or very poor may in fact be easily overwhelmed by SARS," she said.

"It could devastate some of these countries. It's important to offer any kind of assistance to them now.

"If we don't have a global effort to help countries that are under-resourced, it can get out of control."

Sars death rate 'higher'

The death rate for Sars could be significantly higher than previously thought, according to an British expert's study into the pneumonia-like virus.
The research by Professor Roy Anderson, due to be published in a medical journal next week, is expected to say the virus could kill between 8% and 15% - or one in seven - of those infected.

More than 99% of the world population might die of papercuts in the next 12 minutes.
So warns XXXManager (aka ************).
This will require a very unprobable coincidence and a very deep paper cut to the spinal cord.
But still, its worth scaring people with

So which is it? Australian from Melborne? Or a Briton from London?
I don't trust that press release

BlueDesignStudios · 04-26-2003, 03:18 PM

I guess Ebola wasnt all that bad afterall :P

I think it killed its victims too quickly, and killing hosts means it's got no where to live.. that is why SARS has the potential to be worse, cos it takes a while to die from it and in that time u can spread it around to other ppl

Could SARS be the answer to our future Chinese-bandwidth-sucker rush we are expecting in the next 3 years?

Hmm... could be. I didn't expect nature to help us out.

FTVGirls · 04-27-2003, 02:53 AM

I'm sure it will affect everyone on this planet eventually, like the flu does. Its the mortality rate that is relatively low, especially in healthy adults. So at least personally, I am not worried too much if one day I come down with it.

If the mortality rate was like 85%, and its carrier was class 4, I would then be shitting my pants.
