Couldn't give a fuck personally |

||||||||
|

Don't give into the fear. |

Look up the symptoms online for yourself - high fever over 103 F is one symptom. I'm not too worried, but at the same time my daughter's friend's father flies regular cargo routes to Hong Kong and back out of LAX, so when we get colds we have to keep an eye out for now. |
||||||||
|

|
|
don't worry, its bound to happen |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I'm not rreally worrrried eitherr, but they arre going on about how if you have any symptoms you have to to get to the doc's, until now Inverted Whale i have had no idea what they arre. And my mam, forr example, can't use a comp and look it up, its crrazy. If its so bad we should be inforrmed. |

even if you get it, you only have about a 6% chance of dying from it. i would wager that most of that 6% are people with compromised immune systems to begin with i.e. the elderly. we should take advantage of this fear propaganda and invest in face mask/respirator companies. |

makes me wanna cry. |

someone in my family has it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i should be more worried about chicken pocks, somebody died because of that. and they said it couldn't pass on to humans. always trust your government |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the amount of people infected is not very high - up till now its nothing special. except in China where they decided to completely ignore it and it got a bit heftier. and yes, most of the people that died where elderly or very young. |

I have a head cold right now. :) |

Im more worried about AIDS. Like come on... there's SOOO many people with AIDS it's insane!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
don't sleep arround and you'll be ok |
||||||||

I don't care about health scares in the slightest. I've lived through scores and I'm still alive. It's just the media blowing everything out of propotion as usual... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Whatever happened to those killer bee's that were s'posed to sting us all to death? Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine had some funny things to say about that whole scare. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Whatever happened to those killer bee's that were s'posed to sting us all to death? we stood on them all. i got 2 wasps last summerr and this odd bee/bug type thing all in the space of 5 mins in my kitchen window, the bug put up a fight even afterr i had rrocked it. |

Hmmmm.....the SARS death rate is higher than the 1918 outbreak of influenza, which killed millions... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah. supposedly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I mean everyone makes this huge deal out of SARS which not even that many people have died from but eyt there's hundreds dieing from AIDS each day all over the world. Especially in Africa. I think we need to worry about that much more.. not saying we shouldn't worry about SARS but we need to see the reality of this. But it's the media's job to install fear into our lives.. so whatever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

fear is a powerful medium to keep the masses in check, however I don't see how you should worry about AIDS more then SARS, cos when it comes to AIDS it's mostly your own stupid mistake if you catch it, whereas with SARS it's like you happen to walk in some park and some infected person sneezes or coughs in your vincinity and next thing you know it's you on a deathbed, a somewhat different situation than with AIDS I'd say. To wave this labdisease away as if it's nothing is ignorant imo. Like AIDS it's Population control, and they have much more stored in their labs. Just let the monkey out once in a while for a live experiment... |

i'm a tit bit worried.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Your inclusion of the word 'tit' has made me feel alll better though, thanks :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There's so many awful diseases in the world to be upset about, I just don't know which to choose. I like AIDS but SARS sounds like it's going to be a big one. Can I suggest a green commerative ribbon for SARS in memory of all the phlegm people will no doubt be coughing up? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tit was nothing, really. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, you can't. sorry. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dont even know what it is, i keep hearing people talk about it at school and theyre like, "you dont know what it is" so what does this thing do to you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It only kills you, no biggie. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how silly. you can't catch AIDS from standing in a lift with someone who has it. forr God sake. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
where the hell did this thing come from? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Probably manuffactured by the CIA ! Like ALWAYS.....CIA...will they ever learn |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It doesn't kill everyone. It just kills the weak and infirm. Most able bodied people are able to shrug it off after a month or two. It's a bit like natural selection, really. Let's have more of it. Seperate the wheat from the chaff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah yes, but the effects of AIDS are a lot more devastating. and purely seen from the point of scale AIDS is a huge epidemic, which SARS is not (yet). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also, babies can get AIDS and they didn't do a damn thing to deserve it. also, many women in Africa get rapped due to a misconseption that if you are infected with HIV/AIDS you can get rid of it by having sex with another women. can't remember where i read this but it was about 2 months ago. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
o i know, i know how bad etc etc aids is, i'm no fool, but fuck man, this SARS this is an immediate prroblem we need to sorrt out, not turrn a blind eye to because AIDS is worrse. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but the problem is not as big as it seems - the media is blowing it out of all proportions. AIDS is still booming in third world countries, spreading and spreading and spreading.. at this moment in time AIDS is a bigger problem. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes i know, but its a foolish comparrison. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
of course, the media blow everything way out of proportion.; its expected. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its because it originates from Hong Kong and thats America's most beloved area of the world, cause they are just like us. if it was from like i dunno one of the stan countries it would be as big. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*it wouldn't be as big* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
AIDS is more important, but SARS is more in the hype, like everything new... i just hope no one i know gets it!! i'm not worried about myself... if i get it, i get it... i don't think i'll die anyway, but if i'm ever dying from it (0.01% chances i think!), i will be worried for my family and maybe my friends more than for me! =/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
weak from the strong. oh yes. here we go. something interesting at last. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A foolish comparison? Sure you can't catch AIDS standing beside someone in an elevator. And see here we have the education to know about condoms and safe practice with needles. In other countries they aren't educated about it so free-sex and drug use seems harmless and AIDS gets spread a lot faster then this SARS is being spread. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Here's some stats. During 2002, AIDS caused the deaths of an estimated 3.1 million people, including 1.2 million women and 610,000 children under 15. Today, 42 million people are estimated to be living with HIV/AIDS. Of these, 38.6 million are adults. 19.2 million are women, and 3.2 million are children under 15. Seems to be spread a lot more then SARS.. seems like a fair comparison. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And they don't really tell you this kinda stuff on the news. Following are the latest statistics from China's Ministry of Health on severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) on 29 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities of China's mainland: On April 17, the accumulative number of SARS cases rose to 1, 482 after 25 new cases were reported, of which six were in south China's Guangdong Province, 17 in Shanxi Province in the north, one in Shanghai and one in central China's Henan Province. Fatalities from SARS remained unchanged at 65. Meanwhile, 19 patients in Guangdong were discharged from hospital, adding the total recoveries to 1,126. Hence the recoveries.. |
