#1 SARS is a coronavirus. But common colds are typically associated with rhinoviruses and adenoviruses, as well as coronavirus. If this is an adenovirus, it is not SARS.

#2 'moose, how difficult is it to tell these apart?

There are so many viruses (vrusi?) that it would seem to be very difficult but I haven't stayed at a Holiday Inn lately so what do I know.

#6 I doubt it is SARS. SARS appeared to be a rare species jumping event (for that virus), which is why we have no previous record of the disease.
