Your two kids were diagnosed with SARS?
Were you advised by the medical establishment/government to stay in your home and to not leave it under any circumstance, or just suggested that you stay home.
I fear that as this progresses (and unfortunately, all signs show that it will), the reference to Stephen King's book/movie "The Stand" could be closer than thought.
I saw on the news tonite that they think there are two types of carriers. (and they illustrated the two types by where you would sit on an airplane).
The common carrier (majority who are sick), if on a typical major airline could infect those on either side of them in the plane and up to two rows to the front and two rows back.
The "Super Carrier" (minority who are sick) are truly the scary ones. In an airplane, they can infect up to 10 rows front & back. With the government so involved in this war and threats of terrorism right now, I truly feel like this new "super virus" is NOT getting the attention it should from American officials and probably won't until when and if it gets massively out of control. And by then, could be too late for too many people.
On a side note, even the Doctor who gave it it's Nym "SARS" died yesterday from it.
