SARS vs Covid 19

Quoted By:

Why didn't the significantly deadlier SARS spread as far as Covid 19 has?

Is SARS slightly less infectious?
Was SARS better managed early on due to it's higher mortality rate?
Was it due to SARS originating in a rural area and Covid 19 originating in an urban area?
Was it all just chance?

For SARS, symptoms were quickly visible. Much easier to isolate cases. But this bullshit virus now known as Covid-19 have lengthy incubation period, and asymptomatic transmission. That's basically it.

I thought SARS incubated too, unless I'm misremembering.

For Covid-19, infection incubation can take 12h, then for a week human can be as asymptomatic carrier and infect others, until symptoms arrive. As much i remember, for SARS there were no asymptomatic carrier phase.

It is not so terrible as mass media tries to show. They are quite in scaring mode at moment. More scared population will more stay home, and pandemic spread will slow down. Para quoting 19th century question: "strychnine or cyanide?", politicians was in quite dilemma: from one side, let it go own course, and let health system handle the load, and after that, when panick spreads, handle economic/political crisis, or institute strict measures, which fuck ups economy anyway, but lets have "we are doing something" effect, thus political fallout, and distrust to government are lesser.

There are already medical tests in progress, next like 3 months will be quite fucked up, economical fallout will be worse than 2008., but it will start to normalize.

But meanwhile, it will be quite annoying.
