SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) will sooner or later be a large world fear. So far it hasn't hit Africa (yet) with any documented cases but it is a lethal disease. It is not surprising that it started in China since their way of growing animals is very archaic and dangerous to health. Birds have been traced to be the cause of many flu and other respiratory diseases (beats me how but they just do. Just think about that bird you have in a cage ). The chickens are grown in close quarters to pig and cows so that the cows will unknowingly pick up the illness and when those animals are killed for meat or other products, the disease is passed onto humans. I don't know if it is a virus or bacteria but I have a strong suspicion that it should be a bacteria since many newer diseases similar to this one have been traced back to bacteria. However some viruses can look like (not physically but similar symptoms) bacteria in what they do so there is the chance that it could be a virus. It may kill thousands or millions and then just disappear like the Spanish Flu did during World War II. But people, the likelihood that you will pick up the disease is very unlikely. Quarantine setup by the g-men seem to be working so go on building robots. Nothing to see here folks keep moving.
