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.

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....
