the reason why many of the deaths are of people of asian descent is that the SARS came from China and was carried by tourists or whoever from China. Probably the majority of the people on the plane are going to be asian and some of those people would have been infected. That does not mean that all asian people carry SARS. What it does mean is to be cautious around those who have visited China or countries nearby in the past probably month. It is hard to say how long the dormancy period is on the SARS if it has one at all. I'm not going to worry about it though. Still have a better chance of being hit by a drunk driver than killed with SARS.
