1:
Data from the World Health Organization's cumulative tally of reported
probable cases of SARS. Patients suspected as having SARS -- because
their symptoms match the disease and because there is reason to
think that they may have been exposed to the virus -- are classified
as probable cases when there is evidence of pneumonia.
2: Probable
number of SARS cases in the U.S. is only available starting on
April 17. Prior to that, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
reported the number of suspect cases.
3: Number
of SARS cases the Chinese government has reported to the WHO.
China has been criticized for under-reporting the extent of the
SARS outbreak within its borders and there have been dramatic
jumps in the number of reported cases as China has acknowledged
the extent of the disease's reach.
4: U.S.
data only included in total after April 17, when the U.S. began
reporting probable cases.
