There are reports that this is not the case.

All the travelers that come back from Asia infected - how??

There must be a large reservoir of virus in the general population in order to facilitate so many transmissions.

Seems to me...

There must be a large reservoir of virus in the general population in order to facilitate so many transmissions.

One would think so, no? Or perhaps there is a specific environment the virus thrives in - say air plane airconditioners? In a way similar to Legionaire's?

Just a guess, based on so many stories involving recent air flights.

There was an epidemic in some Chinese city for at least three months. The Chinese didn't mention it to any international health organization, however. So no one noticed it until it came to Hanoi and to Hong Kong. Thanks to air travel, it's now in a half dozen countries.

It's not bioterror, just a new version of an old bug...
