SARS Precaution Quarantines 9 in Texas
(AP) - Nine people connected to the military have been quarantined in Texas after some reported respiratory problems similar to SARS, officials said. A group of military personnel passed through the Toronto Airport recently, and some reported mild to moderate respiratory problems earlier this week after returning home, said Capt. David May of Dyess Air Force Base in Abilene. Only one person in the group fits the definition of a suspected SARS case, and no one has been officially diagnosed with SARS or been hospitalized, May said.

1. I have a feeling this is going to prove to be a false alarm like the other

ones CNN has announced since this whole thing started with SARS....The people will probably turn out to have flu but meantime another black eye on the Toronto tourism industry....

2. 9 MILITARY people in TEXAS; I guess DISTRACTION from lies.

As the heat builds about Bush's State of the Union lie, a little SARS outbreak would take headlines for while. A nice military honcho especially from Texas would love to do a Bush a favor. So, some guys have to sit around for a while. Beats duty in Iraq!
