I think that it's actually because they all caused the same amount of damage are pretty similar but you have this huge denominator and SARS COBE - of people have mild as so I think that it's one way to look at these numbers and this is not a perfect calculation but if you have with SARS go be immersed appeared there were a hundred people infected they all get some variability some variation in pneumonia and you have a certain mortality rate ranging from 10% to 30% Casares kobe 2,000 people maybe 20 of them are going to get the lung disease the other 18 and going to be asymptomatic subclinical have a cold have something in the upper respiratory tract if you now take that 20% is you can on the nadir and divide that the six percent mortality that we're seeing the five percent mortality oh well I don't know what the number is exactly but I'd say five percent by twenty percent you have a twenty five percent mortality which is near the sellers and MERS
