There is no cure for SARS.
SARS is a coronavirus, which gets it name from the little protein tails sticking out of the membrane. They look like a crown, and because of this it was named the Latin word Corona, meaning "crown".
If you think you may have contracted SARS SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION!
Some treatments include:
Nobody famous has gotten SARS, but it's a possibility in the future
The Tan Tock Sang was the first hospital to treat SARS patients.
Tan tock Sang -->
There are currently no countries or areas reporting transmission of SARS
The area of the world with the most reported cases recently was the Guangdong Province of China
The only known cases since the 2004 outbreak were from either laboratory accidents or animal to human contact (in China).
The mortality rate from SARS was 9 to 12% of those diagnosed. In people over age 65, the death rate was higher than 50%.
Asking Siri about the death rate of SARS is just about the most accurate prediction of whether an elderly vector will die
Sometimes, they use the liquid part of blood from patients who have recovered and give it to the current patient
There isn’t any conclusive evidence that all these treatments work, since SARS is barely a decade old treatments aren’t as far along as with most diseases
The best way to avoid contracting SARS is to keep your hands clean and do not share utensils
Keeping your environment, and commonly used surfaces (Doorknobs) clean is also an effective way to prevent contracting the disease
Always cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze

SARS is a contagious disease that is most often spread when a person with SARS coughs or sneezes and the infected particles get sprayed into the air. This actually happens fairly often considering coughing and sneezing are symptoms of the disease.
The particles can live on skin or tissue for about six hours in the droplet then 3 more once the droplet dries.
It can also be spread by coming into contact with a surface that has the SARS virus on it like a hand or doorknob. Peak time for transmission is 2 weeks after getting the disease
SARS was first spotted in East Asia in 2002, so it's fairly new. Its main prevalence was 2003, where it infected more than 8500 people in 30 different countries.
The virus is spread by close person-to-person contact, usually from a cough or sneeze of those infected.
The particles of the disease are spread to the mucus membranes of the mouth, nose, or eyes of a person up to 3 feet away.
The virus can also be spread when a person touches a surface containing the droplets.
(Extra Information)
Transmission was common in hospitals during the original 2003 outbreak, where they would end up on fomite surfaces such as elevator buttons and doorknobs, spreading the disease.
In 2003 alone, over 800 people died of the initial outbreak. Since then, there have been no more significant outbreaks or deaths from SARS.
