I think the media has sensationalized SARS in an attempt to attract viewers. Scared people watch the news to try and find out what's happening.

However, the real facts about SARS are pretty disturbing. It does have a very high communicablility rate. We really do not have any way to cure it yet.

Stories like the one about the stewardess are scare tactics. That doesn't mean we should over-trivialize the issue. I'm not scared of catching SARS and dying, but it does have the potential to became a major issue if people ignore the warnings and travel advisories.
