COMMENT: I think we were just lucky to be able to contain SARS
Submitted by Caroline Bridgers on 12/5/07 8:35 AM
My understand of the way SARS spread is, it was very virulent BUT it wasn't contagious until people started showing symptoms. Therefore with a high amount of vigilance, we were able to track people down and use isolation and quarantine to stop the spread.
I was under the impression that we physically STOPPED SARS, that it didn't just die out because its victims died.
Is this incorrect?
Boy oh boy, I would love to know for sure that a pandemic such as H5N1 simply couldn't, ever, at all, become a pandemic at say over 2.5% fatality rate. But I have been looking into this for quite some time and I cannot find any studies that say this can't happen.

so high virulence in SARS didn't preclude it from becoming a pandemic?
