What is the current status of SARS cases in India, Pakistan, the Middle East and Africa? Those regions would create havoc if there is a major outbreak there, I would think.

According to the WHO, it hasn't made it to that part of the world yet. You have to figure it's just a matter of time, though.

That's what I thought. But since borders are pretty much a myth in that part of the world, that's scares the hell out of me. Can you imagine an outbreak in Saudi Arabia at the oil terminals or on the tankers? I think I'll call my commodity broker and put in a long term call order on oil futures just thinking about this.
