I have a theory for them:

1. Someone from an Asian country (China, Taiwan et al) boards plane in their native land

2. Plane lands roughly 13 hours later in Toronto

3. Said person starts coughing all over the place while walking unhindered through Canadian customs.


WOW! That was hard.

Said person could start coughing a day after arriving in Toronto or New York City, or anywhere else, and nobody would know where it came from until that person checks into a hospital that has its act together.

The only reason we don't have big outbreaks of SARS in this country is because we're lucky.
