Actually, it was originally known as simply "acute respiratory syndrome"
But that would have made it ARS, so they added the very redundant
"severe" to the front. Considering we have had slogans here in Toronto
such as "SARS, stopping the spread"---imagine if it had been ARS...

My friends, living here in Toronto and working in the Health Research
world---I have had to put up with a lot of stupidity in the last few
months...
