That is in the context of IF the disease spreads into the U.S. It is highly contagious...some of us are susceptible to respiratory ailments, and the likelihood of my contracting SARS is pretty high. It was merely a supposition, not a prediction. Maybe I didn't present it in a way that was palatable to you. If you'll give me a rephrase that you find acceptable, then I'll make a point to use it.
Your original context, which you resumed weeks after this thread had died was "LOOK! LOOK! SARS IS COMING!!! HOORAY!!! I TOLD YOU IT WAS COMING!!!
I think it's wierd that you are looking forward with great anticipation to the prospect of a deadly plague.
