I certainly don't see any overreaction here in the US. Has anyone seen anyone wearing a mask in public? Any mass quarantines?

The worst Americans can be accused of is deferring trips to Hong Kong. The numbers were never large anyway, and I hardly see how that translates into panic.

Even if people are going to Chinese restaurants less (and they seem as crowded around my city as they ever were), BFD. French restaurants aren't as crowded, either, and I don't think Americans are under any moral duty to patronize any business.

Do you think we are handling this epidemic as well as the AIDS epidemic was and is being handled. I mean we can wait until 20,000,000 people have SARS and tell everyone to wear respirators and face masks (SARS condoms).

These morons know less about handling an epidemic than the common Joe.
