"Agreed. I don't think anyone's ethnicity or heredity will protect them from SARS. Sad to say."

Actually, anyone who gets SARS and survives is such a person. Inheriting an efficient immune system is as much a genetic trait as any other factor (wish I had one--I catch every virus that comes near me--if I'm ever exposed to SARS, I suspect I will be "pushing up privet hedge").
