Give this topic another couple of weeks and the media will grow bored at the rate of change of SARS infections. Already places like Singapore and vietnam have statistically restrained the virus. There have been no new cases in Vietnam since April 8th. The incubation period for a virus of this transmissitivity and complexity is normally 10 days. The WHO have doubled this incubation period to be safe and still Vietnam beats the deadline.
Just a massive storm in a tea cup.
The real threat would be if SARS made its way to third world countries, then you'd see epidemic proportions.
Population of China is 1,300,000,000 (ish). Number of SARS infected persons (known) 3000 to date. Currently this accounts for 0.00023% of the population.
For the US this would equate to 644 catching it and 38 dying from it to date (6%). Probably the same mortality rate as a blind man with a wooden leg crossing the grand canyon on a wire, with woodworm in his stump whilst being struck by a hijacked low flying helo.
What will the media turn their attention to next, I wonder...................
