The three were taken off the flight in Frankfurt and quarantined at a hospital where they are recovering.

Wait just a minute. What about these three persons "Civil Right's". Government can't just quarantine people because they might spread disease. (/sarcasm)

One more foot on the neck of the Constitution.

One more camel's nose in the tent of the Bill of Rights.

Opps! I thought SARS stood for Susan 'Anal Retentive' Sarandon. So sorry.

I don't like to sound pessimistic, but I don't think there's a chance of stopping SARS from spreading around the world now. It's too late. We'd just better hope it isn't as deadly as it seems to be, or that its deadliness diminishes as it spreads from one person to another.

There's no way they can distinguish the symptoms among random airline passengers from ordinary colds or flu, and presumably for the first day or two after exposure there won't be any symptoms at all.

It's unlikely that they'll be able to develop any kind of vaccine until next year at the earliest.
