You are correct....it was originally a discussion on SAR (search and rescue) not sure why someone hi-jacked this thread to medical SARS.


The Hijack was to the parallel between what is happening with SAR funding and what happened with medical funding in Canada and the CDCs in the USA until the business community suddenly realized that underfunding disease control was threatening their businesses.

The similarity in the initials was just a coincidence.
So it is not even a real hijack.

Read and think about the text of the message instead of just the similar acronyms.

I guess I will have to go back and edit in the full name of the pneumonia like disease syndrome so some people don't get too confused.

Edit:
I wish somebody would hijack the tread though, or start a new one.
