ChrisT Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 Just heard on the news that the people on the American Airlines flight quarantined in San Jose WERE NOT infected with SAR. Just a bunch of sick people with flu-like symptoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off_White Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 Okay Wayne, heard on the news this am: 71 identified cases in the US, no deaths. Its being suggested that it may become a problem on par with West Nile Virus or Hanta, something to be managed, but not necessarily epidemic. Â On the other hand, I watched Twelve Monkeys the day before all this went public, made me twitch a little. For those who don't know, the movie relates to a near future where 99% of the population has died from a manufactured germ with flu-like symptoms. Then I just had to fly from Reno to Portland sitting next to a guy who just returned from China. No cough yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
