"Officials say it's unclear whether exposure on a flight is sufficient to infect people."
That is so fucking funny.
Hong Kong sealed off SARS-hit apartments because 98 people got infected. And they are still saying not to worry because you can contract it only from a close contact.
I don't think those 98 people in the same apartment building, did an orgy recently.
"SARS is thought to be spread by droplets containing the coronavirus, meaning people would have to be in close proximity to a carrier to be infected.
But there are fears that it may also be airborne, meaning infectious particles could linger in the air as long as an hour after a carrier has left the room.
Singapore's Health Minister, Lim Hng Kiang, said yesterday that a group of "super-infectors" have spread the disease rapidly to dozens of others with minimal exposure. (It is well established that some people shed viruses more efficiently than others, but it is unclear why.)
"We run the risk of a huge new cluster of infected people, which could start a chain reaction," Mr. Lim said."
