Last I heard of it in my part of the world, West Nile was being exploited with wild glee by the insect repellent companies.

If you look at how many people died from SARS and how many die each year from just falling from stairs worldwide, there are other things to worry about than SARS.

falling from stairs can hardly be characterized as epidemic !?

Not what I meant, I meant that there are more dangerous things than SARS.
Statistically you have more chances of getting killed in traffic than getting killed by SARS.
Take a look at a regular flu, kills thousands a year, and they consider it not worth mentioning in the media.
(I have to admit that I gave a stupid example).
