Bump to myself, thanks jacquej.

Judith Anne, you know far more than I do about this chain of transmission thing... Do you think the following will be used to eliminate a person with SARS from the list of "probable SARS"?

You also know far more about how "officials" follow "rules and regulations" than I do. I have watched far too much stateside political spinning, and have lost trust over the years.

I follow Reagan's advice about verification. but I switch it around. I verify, then I trust.

But how do we verify in a situation like this, when it is so new a situation, and things are so fluid, and officials know how much is at stake, both politically and economically?....
