If SARS hits the USA hard, it will not be easy to contain--because no one (liberals, conservatives or libertarians) will easily accept mandatory quarantines. There will be too many cries about infringement on civil liberties.

It wouldn't be nearly as easy for Americans to accept mandatory quarantines because for one we need to get out and earn a living, we have kids to provide for and care for, mortgages to pay etc. Chinese are slave anyway, it's not like a Capitalist country they live in, the state will provide for them, the state owns them. I don't see how our government would have the right to drag us out of our own homes.
