Curious how health officials or recommending quarantine to prevent the spread of a virus that is frequently fatal. A "certain" virus that is uniformally fatal and can can only be suppressed by taking a number of different, very expensive medications which become progressivley less effective has been spreading rampantly around the world and quarantine was never even seriously considered. Why quarantine folks now?

Lessons learned? Infecting 50% of all medical staff* that do not wear special protection when treating sars patients is also a good motivator.

* reported to have happened in China
