I've been saying this for weeks. Look where the disease comes from.

That would scare my wife to death--she has a healthy fear of cockroaches anyway, but that would push her over the top.

Still, with the Amoy Garden outbreak in Hong Kong, that kind of transmission would make sense.

New theory of SARS transmission is proposed by doctor (It's an STD says Taiwan doctor)

One doctor who has treated between two and three hundred SARS patients in the former British colony said that he couldn't think of one single case that would disprove the notion that the disease could be transmitted through the sex act, Lin said.

That same "one doctor" could also say that he couldn't think of one single case that would disprove the notion that the disease could be transmitted by pixies magically blowing virus on sleeping people during the night.

I believe they prefer the moniker "common cunning linguists".
