I'd be interested in your rationale for feeling this won't break out in the US. I want to believe you're right, give me a reason for hoping so.

I believe Bush will have the guts to do what is necessary in the case of this disease. Singapore and Hong Kong seem to be controlling this disease to controllable levels under much worse conditions than there is anywhere except in NYC. We don't have the mass public transportation (except in the North East) and crowded living conditions (especially like Hong Kong and China). The vast majority of the country commutes in their own vehicle and does not live in huge population densities. What we consider crowded here is nothing compared to these locales that seem to be controlling the numbers.

I am not saying this will make America immune. It just is not as fertile a ground for an epidemic of this type.

Pray I am right. If I am wrong you may not be around to gloat.

Don't get me wrong - I do NOT want to gloat at all. I am just curious as to how others are appraising this virus.

Thanks for your response. I think it has some merit.

Actually, there is a really interesting tin foil theory out there somewhere which basically says it was manufactured in China to take down the economy and sound a warning to any NWO plans following Iraq.....and that it is not meant to spread through this country..... Dunno.... but I DO know that I saw a wire story earlier which troubled me greatly, because it appears that SARS has made an appearance in India, and THAT'S a scary thought.
