Yeh Yeh I’ve heard all this before. X number of passengers who have just returned from a SARS “Hotspot” feared of catching the deadly virus. All so far have been negative (had the common flue) and I bet this will be the same. At the current rate of infection in Singapore you have a 1:30000 chance of catching this thing and 1:150000 chance of dieing from it. You have about a 1:20 of catching the flue. The media should stop reporting suspected cases and concentrate on confirmed cases. Oh maybe that won’t work because they won’t have a story to tell because there aren’t any.
