    Severe acute respiratory syndrome

    Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a viral respiratory disease of zoonotic origin caused by the SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV). Between November 2002 and July 2003, an outbreak of SARS in southern China caused an eventual 8,096 cases and 774 deaths reported in multiple countries with the majority of cases in Hong Kong (9.6% fatality rate) according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Within weeks, SARS spread from Hong Kong to infect individuals in 37 countries in early 2003. It then was eradicated by January the following year.

    Signs and symptoms

    Initial symptoms are flu-like and may include fever, myalgia, lethargy symptoms, cough, sore throat, and other nonspecific symptoms. The only symptom common to all patients appears to be a fever above 38 °C (100 °F). Shortness of breath may occur later. The patient has symptoms as with a cold in the first stage, but later on they resemble influenza. SARS may occasionally lead to pneumonia, either direct viral pneumonia or secondary bacterial pneumonia.

    Drug

    by: Czars

    You are a drug to me
    I never ever thought it otherwise
    And I love the lies you told to me
    While looking me directly in my eyes
    This is not ecstasy
    But it's better than cocaine
    And you know that I will miss you when you're gone
    But I'm not equipped to play this game
    You know your words they don't mean
    Anything to me
    They only serve to fatten up the prey
    And when it's time to take them
    To the slaughterhouse
    You slice their throats, continue on your way
    This is not jepoardy
    And it's not your high school prom
    And you know that I will miss you when you're gone
    But I'm not equipped to be your mom
    You are a drug to me
    I never ever thought it otherwise
    And I love the lies you told to me
