Can see just a little of your argument, but do get rather cross when everybody says that the problem is HK or Singapore. The root of the problem is China, who never reported the start of the problem to the WHO and who only did report some of their cases after a monster set of complaints.
Now what do advise about the other countries who also have some SARS cases, such as USA, Canada, Vietnam, UK, Switzerland, Germany and I'm sure that there are others - should we also have everybody wearing masks there - or better still quarantine everybody and forbid travel completely ?
Then again there is the possibility of infection from Door Handles, Lift Buttons, Taps etc. and gloves don't necessarily help as you have to remember not to touch yourself anywhere if you have touched something that could be contaminated - so no knives or forks..... The list becomes almost endless.
The question really is - Was this ment for somebody like a certain ruler in Iraq - but boy George just got the address wrong, or was it the other way around ? But of course that is childish so whatever is done should be done by the reader, because they are a responsible adult, not because fashon or a company say you should.... Or is that too adult.
