"But I've got a fever, a sore throat, I'm coughing and I'm struggling to breathe" said the coffin, "I'm dying Doctor and I've only just come to life".
So the doctor ran some more tests, but still they were inconclusive. The coffin asked the Doctor for his best diagnosis of what the problem might be; "what do you think could be causing these terrible symptoms", it asked.
The doctor fiddled with his stethoscope as he tried to think of a plausible answer. Eventually he answered…….
"SARS cough I guess".
