No, just regular pneumonia. SARS hasn't really affected my community. There were precautionary quarantines, but no illnesses. One negative aspect of the SARS situation is that they no longer can use salbutamol nebulizers in the emergency room. I had 20 puffs off a regular inhaler, instead.
Just for the record, the A in SARS, for Atypical, refers to the incredibly sudden onset of symptoms. Regular pneumonia develops over time, and from an obvious existing illness.
>He surely is missed.
Words do not convey the wonderful feeling I got from reading all your supportive messages. Thank you all.
