After severe acute respiratory syndrome struck down its first known victim, it seemed only fear could spread more rapidly than the disease itself. Little was known about it, except that it was flu-like--and, for 15 percent of patients, lethal. Filmed in the wake of the initial SARS onslaught, this gripping program describes the World Health Organization's decisive counterattack. Julie Hall, of the WHO's Global Alert, Response, and Operations Department; WHO virologist Klaus Stöhr; and other frontline personnel in the all-out war on SARS discuss the coronavirus's emergence, its spread, and, through unprecedented international cooperation, its swift containment.
