Actually most of what is on the CDC website has been discussed on the SARS threads at one time or another here. That is, however, a semi-excellent source for information.

Without getting into a flame war, I do think that the CDC is unnecessarily restrictive in limiting the case definition to people known to have been in one of the countries or cities known to have SARS already, or close contact with someone who has been in an affected area recently.

The person might not even know, after all, that they had been on an elevator, for instance, with someone who had recently been to an infected area...

Of course, it's always possible that I missed something more inclusive in the CDC case definition...
