What I still don't get is why SARS v1.0 is so different than v2.0. It "only" infected 8,000 worldwide and killed 800 (talk about a CFR). We had 27 cases and no fatalities.

One theory is that it down-mutated to a less fatal form.. which is entirely possible that we could see the same thing happen here.
