They are saying now that some people are 'super spreaders'. They don't just carry the disease, but they spread it to others quickly. Maybe for some there is a critical stage and for others they are more like carriers with some symptoms? I hope they find a cure.

JB, did you say cure? Some people seem to think that some of these viruses can only be contained. No effective cure as they mutate rapidly.
For example, ebola. Remember the outbreak a few years ago in Africa? What happen? Is there a cure yet? I don't know, I'm just asking. ???
And HongKong seems to be getting bouts of bird flu now and then. Maybe that';s one cause of this SARS.
