It's that time of the year again, and many are gearing up to face SARS requirements as the financial year end approaches.
A different sort of SARS is being beaten into life, again, with the kind of scaremongering journalism, favoured by and courtesy of BBC news [emphasis in bold by me]:
"Health officials in the UK believe they have the strongest evidence yet that a new respiratory illness similar to the deadly Sars virus can spread from person to person.
Cases of the infection may come from contact with animals. However, if the virus can spread between people it poses a much more serious threat.
One man in the UK is thought to have caught the infection from his father.
However, officials say the threat to the whole population remains very low.
There have been 11 confirmed cases of the infection around the world [wow!}. It causes pneumonia and sometimes kidney failure - five patients have died [a real decimation, like last time].
This is the third case identified in the UK. The first was a patient flown in from Qatar for treatment. The second was linked to travel to the Middle East and Pakistan.
The virus is then thought to have spread from the second patient to his son. There have been suggestions of person to person transmission in earlier cases in the Middle East, but this was not confirmed.
The third UK case is being treated in intensive care at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham.
The patient is known to have an underlying health condition which left them with a weakened immune system [wonder what that was?]. This may have made them susceptible to the infection.
There have been no signs of the virus spreading to staff at the hospital.
Boring, boring, boring, but, they keep trying to breath life into a dead horse [the ones from the meat pies maybe].
