Actually, CDC has been very forthcoming about this. We know exactly how contagious it is.
We are not acting as if we know what to do about it-but we certainly are not covering anything up with regard to the extreme "contagiousness" of the SARS agent.

is that an imperial "we" or do you move in the CDC world?
Actually up until a week ago or so the official line was said it could only be transmitted by close personal contact like someone coughing in your face. Now it is being reported as totally airborne requiring respirators and HEPA filtration, negative pressure rooms etc in the vicinity of the victim. It was being treated that way in China before but we in America were not told this by health authorities. Do a search on SARS or china mystery disease.
Are you with the CDC? The information may have been handled internally in the CDC in an open manner but the information reported to the public downplayed or failed to communicate the Airborne nature and contagiousness of this disease. We don't need a panic.
