r7, prevention is better than cure. i don't know where you were during the SARS pandemic, but i was in my country whose neigbor is the ground zero of it while other neighboring countries are badly affected. believe me, the fear is very palpable, the flu medicine/masks in scarcity and airport/ hospital personnel in fear of their lives (and afraid of infecting their families) while continually giving their services. we can't afford to have another pandemic what with the global recession and all that.

kadaut...
