We are frightened of SARS and rightfully so. I think that it is instructive to learn from history, so I highly recommend a book by Gina Kolata entitled, Flu: The Story Of The Great Influenza Pandemic. This highly readable book chronicles the largely forgotten 1918 flu pandemic which killed between 20 and 40 million people on a worldwide basis then mysteriously disappeared. It is important to remember that SARS is not caused by an influenza virus but, nonetheless, much can be learned by reading this book.
