The american news is flashing video of hoards of workers hosing down and scubbing alleys and streets. Will this have ANY effect on an airborne virus, or simply psychologically aid people in feeling like their government is doing something? MMMM.

"- The speed with which SARS infects new victims will slow down dramatically as soon as more and more people will become immune"

When a new, highly infectous disease breaks into a population, nobody is immune against it and the disease will spread very rapidly. Everybody will be a perfect transmitter.
But all survivors who had been infected and withstood the disease become immune against it and will not spread it anymore. So the infection rate decreases as more and more people become immune and the progress slows down.
Well, unfortunately this is not true for quickly mutating viruses like HIV, influenca and others...
AFAIK it's not yet clear if SARS is caused by such a quickly mutating virus, or by a static type.
It is still possible that this thing runs out of control and turns into something really nasty in SEA - although probably not in the western countries.

Complementary information on the enforcement of the regulation quoted in this thread:
Last week I transited from vietnam in bangkok airport, and stayed about one hour in the duty-free zone before boarding again. All passengers were given masks when going out of the plane. Of course, most of the transit passengers took them off after five minutes and there was no sign of police or airport staff trying to enforce any obligation to wear masks in the airport zone.

Let me come out of my hibernation with some personal remarks:
1/ With so many people coming to Thailand from Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Vietnam, and not only by direct air service (e.g. HKG-MNL-BKK), how can you seriously believe that Thailand has been mysteriously saved from SARS cases
2/ Reading last Stickman's weekly, you all know that a bar girl wearing a mask means no customer, and a customer wearing a mask in a go-go bar or a MP means that either he won't be allowed in, or no girl will want to even have drink with him
3/ Given the good reputation of hospitals in BKK, you can assume that any affected person would run to be taken care of there
4/ Is you are on a flight and feel some fever, just take 500mg Aspirin one hour before landing and you are cleared from the fever check...
Sorry to spoil your hopes, but I'll wait for my next trip to LOS until.... ?

Chaps,
just a practical one:
Being Beijing based, I had no problems coming in Bangkok International 2 weeks ago.
what is the situation right now, after we seem to have become the hotspot of it all and WHO gave a warning?
Who has precise info ?
Would love to travel the weekend, but not to end in medical lock-up!

I suppose the hosing down and scrubbing is just being cautious. I am not sure the cause of transmission has been discovered yet. Only that the virus is similar to the common cold.
All those cases in China ?
Is it possible the virus escaped an experimental bio lab ?
