Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus)

SARS: a viral respiratory illness caused by a coronavirus
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, more commonly know as
SARS, is a virulently infectious disease caused by a
coronavirus.
Several kinds of viruses cause the common cold and Coronavirus
is one of them. There are six coronaviruses, among them one is
SARS and the other is
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome
(MERS). Coronaviruses are known to mutate, which makes SARS
especially dangerous.

With a SARS epidemic may come
quarantines, restrictions at
hospitals, interruption of businesses and the local economy.
That's the easy part! The horror of the disease for a patient is
that even an oxygen mask does not feel like enough air.

If you get SARS, currently you have a 1 in 16 chance of survival.
SARS started in 2002 in southern China, when a previously
unknown virus jumped from small mammals to man. SARS
spread unchecked and infected more than 8,000 people. This is

What you need to know about SARS...

  • SARS is coming! While the last case in the United States
    was in May 2014, the likelihood of MERS coming here is
    currently still slim according to the Centers for Disease
    Control (CDC).

  • Incubation is 2-10 days: SARS

  • How is SARS transmitted?
  • Droplets. With coughs or sneezes, SARS can be spread by
    droplets that may come in close contact by hands or
    objects and can be contagious for six hours when wet and
    2 hours after having dried.
  • Air. Airborne transmission is possible.
  • Stool. The virus can live in stool for up to 4 days!

  • Older people are most at risk. Deaths in the 2003
    outbreak occurred mainly in the older population (people
    aged 65 and above). This age group has a 50% death rate
    upon infection.
