I read an article the other day that likened SARS to a variation of the common cold. It said that they've been able to identify it and have had some success with a certain drug (rivirin or something, I can't remember) in treating it. As CRX said, it's airborne, but they don't know if it can also survive on hard surfaces, i.e., tabletops, doorknobs, etc.
