Iain Hollingshead compare in the Guardian (25.2.2006) the hysteria with bird flu with the recent SARS outbreak (for your relief: SARS has been contained by 2003). Medically, Sars is now "one of the best studied of any emerging infective disease", according to Kathryn Holmes of Colorado University, writes Hollingshead. "While it would now take an unfortunate accident or a fresh mutation for the Sars virus to re-emerge, scientists would be well prepared to contain it if it did."
