Nah, not SARS. This is gastrointestinal. Dollars to donuts, everyone who got sick ate at the hotel buffet. I've seen it happen at every trade show I've attended in Vegas, and it's always the buffet...usually at breakfast.

They'll be OK in a day or two.

Well the one commonality in Singapore I think was an apartment or hotel or something like that...I hope this ain't it all the same.

No way is this SARS. It is a gastro-intestinal illness - sometimes called in the food services industry "ass to mouth disease." Some food worker, probably working salads or other "raw" foods, passed along e. coli, salmonella, or some other bug.

Earlier story (with a different title) Probably not SARS, this sounds like food poisoning.

"Norwalk virus would be my first guess."

We have a winner! (According to recent reports.)

With a faver that high, it is most likely a gram-negative bacterial infection from something they ate or drank
