I totally agree with Rose Sethman and her statement.
If you don't have to travel and you can put off travel plans to another country, then don't travel. This is really a time where it is better to stay near the home front for now till SARS is more controlable by Doctors all over the world - and finding out where it where it stems from (cultivates out of) as well.
I understand that business people must travel, clients are highly important in the business world to continue business growth, but even then if a business trip can be set up for a later date it should be.
Others traveling back and forth to different countries are just helping with the wide spread of SARS :(
Especially if those people have it and may not know they have it or when they are screen, they are not stating the truth about symptons they may be experiencing because they really want to get to where they are flying to.
I hope the Canadian Gov't continues to work with the public and other Countries to help stop this wide spread of SARS, and a cure is found swiftly. To many people have already had their lives disrupted due to it as well as some have lost their lives from it :( .... Sad...very sad !
We are from Malaysia.Actually we are searching for more informations about SARS disease.This disease has spreading to our country especially Kuala Lumpur.All of us are recommended to take this news not just as a rumor.We hope scientist,doctor and goverment try hard to avoid this disease.Bye..
BEWARE OF SARS!!!
Rose is kind of serious about a solution, but a little too extreme, the world revolves around money, no matter how deadly this virus is, you cant stop the government or the corporate dollar.
My advice is stay home watch the news, keep updated through internet, or whatever, and try not to come in contact with too much people until there is word about how serious this virus is, know the symptoms, and pray to your god, that we all will be safe and that there will be a cure, or some way of preventing this deathly disease from entering our lives
I believe we'll find a cure, you have to have hope!
I have no doubt. But all I know is this "President GEORGE W. BUSH is a QUEER and I hope he dies a PAINFULL deth.
GEORGE W> BUSH has PROBLEMS I wonder what his mama looks like?
I had a problem to but I solved it, my problem was that I dont have any breasts I mean none. So I solved my problem by paying for breast inplants. But thats besides the point!!!
I'm the sexiest bitch in the world.
Forever love for everyone but GEORGE W. BUSH!!!! I F>>K>>G HATE him!!!
buy comes from china within three days.
Do you think I have anything to worry about concerning the SARS virus?
our physicians don't know the answer to
that queston. I'm just concerned,
What do you think?
Thank You
Joanie
Here are other symptoms that show up:
Shortness of breath
Aching bones
Aching muscles
Chills
Cough
Runny nose
all the flu like symptoms come on later, after the fever.
Of course when it gets bad, the patient cannot breathe on their own and will die unless put on a ventilator. Then if they survive, their lungs will be like an 80 year old's.
SARS is an air-borne disease and it is caused by a virus called CORONAVIRUS.
Why don't we turn to God and pray to him to be our deliverer.
I just pray that those affected will be healed and, it will not spread to any other country. (Amen)
I just hope we have not forgotten him and all he has done for us till this very day.

Sorry if I have said some rude comments but thats the way I feel.
"Chinese people should be tortured for the bad things they bring to this world" ... ?
What bad things? I have an idea.. how about we torture you for bringing into the world bigotry and hatred? How's that sound? Not too good, I surmise..
"We should stop letting chinese people onto planes and letting them fly to other countries." Er.. Right.. thats so idiotic I don't even have a comment for it.
"Lets discriminate Chinese people and lets hope that this SARS situation shall stop and that doctors soon enough shall have a cure for this certain disease."
I just have a question about what world you're actually from.. I've heard of idiocy in my day, and have seen it far and wide... Don't get your butthairs in a knot, but sorry to tell you, you're not the biggest idiot out there, so don't go gettin' egotistical on me.. just how's about you take a runnin' leap, man?
SARS may be serious, but if idiots like Warren are around, maybe SARS can thin out the gene pool a little before we find a cure.
Thank God they controlled WestNile for now (with all the chemicals), we just have too much to deal with in regards to SARs and Mad Cow now!
I try to live my life normally, but I give a bit more effort in being closer to family, friends, and just others in general. So, if they or I win one of these current lotteries (SARs/WestNile/Mad Cow) I am sure, we’d want to be in a happy and peaceful state of mind in body and spirit.
I do still believe that it's not the end of the world yet; but, just a new way of life in the new millennium for our future generations.
I send my blessing to the world and condolences to all those who have and will be affected by these viruses as my family and friends experienced the last couple years.
