Doesn't surprise me, stadium executions are still operating in China.

But think about it really, a Communist government of 1.3 billion wouldn't give a shit if they had to execute 10,000 people if it meant stopping the virus.

I don't think SARS is going to kill millions and millions because only something like 10% of cases are fatal and the only people really at risk are people over 60.

But in a way it is scary because this is a virus that could mutate into something deadlier. But from a virus' perspective if your host dies that's not good so I think it won't mutate.
