Even more to my point. That's even more the reason to be more afraid of SARS 
than of cars.  The only way to be safe from it is avoid it completely.

Also, you've given no evidence that you don't have the causality backwards. 
People paniced about SARS and bird flu, and hence much fewer people caught 
it. People don't panic about cars, and hence many more people die. Thus, 
panic about a danger is a good thing. QED. ;-)
