At the very least, this is prudent.

Should all Chinese products be gamma ray sterilized before placed into inventory?
Who sneezed in that toy?

Ping. Pong. Singing Giddy's song. Her chief supporter buys from Guangdong.

Ummm, I hadn't thought of this one until now: "Do you suppose the SARS virus can hitch a ride on Chinese goods shipped into Wal-Mart"? I'm betting it can.

If SARS is as contagious as the news is saying it is, then it can.
Wal-Mart imports massive amounts of goods daily from Communist China.
To: Howlin
I agree.
To: SevenDaysInMay
All products from Comunist China should be sterilized through gamma ray.
If this SARS illness is as deadly as the news is saying it is, then our nation should take no chances.

Is Giddy a nick-name for Hillary Clinton?

I think only if the secondary exposure is within 24 hours after initial contamination, products would then be considered "probable carriers". Over half of the incubation period would be exhausted in air travel from China to U.S. alone - and most products are container shipped. Leastwise, I'm hoping so....

Wal-Mart ships a lot of their stuff directly into their free trade zone in NorthWest Arkansas.
They receive a lot of their merchandise at that free trade zone via direct jumbo jet service from Communist China and other nations.
To: azhenfud
Okay.
Thanks for clarifying that.
To: azhenfud
Considering that just about everything comes over via boat, which means there's a delay from factory -> boatyard (in a sealed container), boatyard -> ship, ship -> sea, sea-> US, port -> customs, customs -> truck -> distro center, there's a pretty long delay.
I wouldn't think almost anything gets from china to the US in under 2-3 weeks, unless the rare instances where they send it by air.

Yeah, I'm thinking the time required to container the cargo and load it, along with flight times to ship would exhaust the virus' lifespan.
