By the report from Mexican, the mortality rate is about 3-6% of clinical cases. The 1918 pandemic flu mortality rate was 1%-2%. The 1918 pandemic flu killed more young people. The influenza triggered a stronger response from the bodies defenses. This stronger immune response is called "cytokine storms". The mortality rate of SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome ) is much higher than 6%, and it also caused by stronger immune response.

 

In China's SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome ) epidemic in 2003, Chinese and Taiwanese officers and doctors had consulted Chinese Daoists on controlling this virus. At that time, the Chinese Health Minister was replaced/substituted by Vice Premier Wu Yi (woman). Madam Wu is a sort of heroine for many Chinese people. Madam Wu retired at the end of 2007. She also said that she would research traditional Chinese medicine after retirement.

Practice the meditation on Daoism right way, is a good way to keep the immune system balance. The Daosim practice was proved to be efficient in China's 2003 SARS.
