From WHO website:

Q : How contagious is SARS ?

A : Based on currently available evidence, close contact with an infected person is needed for the infective agent to spread from one person to another. Contact with aerosolized (exhaled) droplets and bodily secretions from an infected person appears to be important. To date, the majority of cases have occurred in hospital workers who have cared for SARS patients and the close family members of these patients. However, the amount of the infective agent needed to cause an infection has not yet been determined.

Sounds almost like it is as contageous as the common cold. If that is the case, there is not much you can do. On the plus side, we have far superior doctors here than in other countries, IMHO, not that I wish anyone sickness. Hopefully this can be contained or a treatment found as soon as possible.

A current thread says it is a strain of the Coronavirus, which also causes colds.
