All other reports link the spread to coughing. It is, after all, Severe Acute
Respiratory Syndrome.
This article might be cockroach do-do.

I've read a few recent reports that say it might not be an airborne infection.
A lot of viruses can be spread by touching a contaminated surface and then touching your nose or mouth.

"All other reports link the spread to coughing. It is, after all, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. This article might be cockroach do-do." The only 'do-do' here is the false assumption you made about what you read. The article says cockroaches are another vector to spread SARS, not the only vector. It makes perfect sense that the virus would be present in fecal material of an infected person, and cockroaches could pick it up from that and spread it.
