[quote:NTimes:MV80MjUwNjQ4Xzc3Mzc4MDIwXzIyQkVBMzU=] [quote:Anonymous Coward 78404225:MV80MjUwNjQ4Xzc3Mzc3ODM1XzNEMkE2RTE1] Drastic times require NEW IDEAS. Pick a nice island with nice hotels, evacuate island of all the well people and make them comfy on mainland. Put your sick people (that will include nurses, doctors, and medical supplies) on that island. AirDrop all the supplies. Treat them nice, give them luxury. Patients need the ultraviolet light of natural sunshine to heal NOT A HOSPITAL. For God’s sake quit putting them in hospitals and foaming the doors shut and wasting resources, exposing healthy care workers! This would be CHEAPER AND MORE HUMANE THAN A HOSPITAL. The warm sunny weather would do them good. We need a radical change in thinking. Save the hospitals for the normal stuff, do not overwhelm them. THIS IS NOT A JOKE, I AM FOR REAL, THIS WILL WORK. Then you don’t have to quarantine any more cities and destroy economies. This is not a “draconian measure” suggested by experts that only think traditionally. This is humane....sunshine, fresh air, and total quarrentine. [/quote] Nice idea. I fear they are not building a hospital but a morgue. [/quote]

Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a viral respiratory disease of zoonotic origin caused by the SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV). Between November 2002 and July 2003, an outbreak of SARS in southern China caused an eventual 8,098 cases, resulting in 774 deaths reported in 17 countries,[1]

Don't think it will be long before this number will be massively eclipsed.
I was shocked to find out how few SARS cases there actually were!
(I think we can assume huge under-reporting for both outbreaks)
