There's less suffering with SARS!


You are an idiot!
No people mean no consumers and no money.
U.S economy is deterioating and isn't going to get any better because of
SARS.


A few hundred people won't make much of a difference. Earth has been
declared SARS free. I'm not saying it is, mind, but there haven't been
any new cases in some time.


Ten years ago, there were 3 workers for every Social Security
recipient. Ten years from now, there will be less than one
worker per recipient. See the trend? Now SARS has an estimated
15% mortality rate on the population as a whole, but a 50% rate
on age 65 and up. So, for 64 and under, it's maybe 5%. Get it?
