On TFP v 3.0 I stated in a thread on SARS that I was not remotely worried about SARS even after returning from China as the story was breaking. Initially we were told (by the CDC) that we did not need to worry about it because of our itinerary. Later we learned that it had spread to Beijing and by then 3 of the 40 in our group had been hospitalized with pneumonia. I was given to understand that all had been told it was not SARS until recently. Now I am told that some were told they were "suspected cases." I was working through all this and I would have stayed away from the hospital if I knew then what I know now.
