Found this, food for thought:
Quote:

Every year, 65 million people in the US get the flu. Half of them will seek medical treatment. Of those, 300 thousand are hospitalized.

And 25,000 people die.

The vast majority of deaths are among the elderly.

Just to put things in perspective. If you're not afraid of leaving your house for fear of catching the flu, then you certainly shouldn't be afraid of sars.
