Severe acute respiratory syndrome or SARS it is a severe disease that can be even lethal if it is not treated in time. SARS caused the death of many people and few of them hardly survived. The treatment for SARS it is very complex and contains a lot of pills and even breathing support for those that are in an advanced stage and cannot breath by themselves. The virus that causes SARS it is very powerful and it has not been eradicated yet, so SARS can emerge anytime. During 2003, SARS put in danger the life of so many people and there was also an international problem. People were afraid they could suffer from SARS. Those circumstance were very frustrating, mainly if you had kids or if you were an old man because the immune system is much more sensitive, so the chances to die of SARS were increased.

A lot of people panicked because it was very hard to distinguish between SARS symptoms and  flu symptoms as they are very similar. One thing that should worry you it is the severe fever. Then, severe breathing problems are also the symptoms that can make the difference between a flu and SARS. People were panicked and they did not know what to do. SARS virus is very powerful and was very easily transmitted.

There were difficult times and every day we could see on TV that SARS killed other people. It was a frightening circumstance and many people were afraid for their lives or for the lives of those they loved. It was believed that SARS was transmitted through the small animals from China and then spread all around the world. Of course, there are also theories claiming that SARS was intentionally spread, but this has not been proved. After SARS virus it is transmitted, it lives on our hands, skin or tissues for many hours, so it is hard to destroy it. The treatment against SARS has been improved, but the scientists are still studying new potential treatments of defeating the powerful virus. Let us hope that what was in 2003, will not happen anymore!
