I think there are only three ways to contain SARS. Develop a quick and accurate test, or develop an effective vaccine in the very near future, or immediately shoot and cremate all SARS victims.

It doesn't look like any of those things will happen.

Isn't the development of an effective treatment a fourth possibility? Or are you assuming that that is impossible?

Schwabe's epidemiological principles in the purest logical form. Common sense without political correctness is what you are advocating; never happen.

I suggested a ban on travel to and from the US to the effected areas. I was immidiately branded a a "hysteric" and a rabble-rouser, there was an especially vocal Canadian contingent.

I reiterate what I said in the past. It is my God given right as an American to learn all of details of SARS and react in anyway that I see fit. If this means terminating associations with people that have recently visited Canada or China or forgoing travel plans, because the source of infection has repeatedly been determined to be an airplane then so be it.

It's you God given right to "panic" as an American.
