Oh, totally agree - majorly fucked up. I remember SARS too. Was working downtown TO at the time. Not even close to this go around. Even though my son ended up in the hospital with an unknown lung infection, at the tail end of SARS. He was in isolation and we had the Canadian head of infectious diseases come to check him out. Obviously ended up not being SARS (it was some encapsulated pneumonia bacteria) but the timing of it, scared the shit out of us. But like you said - this is sooo totally fucked.
