It's annihilation was natural and those containment efforts were only put in place originally, most were wound back within a few months and never reinstated as you can see from the timeline, the virus still spread amongst the population.[0]

No it wasn't, the costs were were a rounding error on the global economy scale[1]
> The calculations above suggest that the cost in 2003 of SARS for the world economy as a whole are close to $US 40 billion

- endorphone 7y agoI honestly don't even understand what your angle is. I saw elsewhere that you're effectively a COVID-denier, so I suppose this is just more of the same. As to its spread, wherever it was found it was treated as a highly contagious pathogen and extraordinary efforts were exerted. Toronto basically shut down when a cell appeared here. And it worked -- the spread was stopped. If you seriously think that SARS just naturally petered out, you are both a lost cause and seriously ignorant.
