And how long until the first airport screener comes down with SARS? Or will they make them wear N95 masks? We don't know how long the contagious period overlaps the incubation. It is far better to fully crack down on this now and demand quarantine and isolation barriers, Take the economic loss now as it will be far less than the economic loss (not to mention loss of life) down the road.

I guess they didn't think of that. This is all very strange. This past week I saw two Asian women walking through the streets of Manhattan wearing surgical masks. I guess they worry about it getting into their communities via overseas travelers.

"two Asian women walking through the streets of Manhattan"

Smart gals! Certainly would keep the muggers away!
