I am also part of a group of posters that have an interest in SARS on Free Republic, a conservative website that has a more than trivial number of nutballs, but some intelligent laymen (nurses, lawyers, engineers), as well.

Here is the link to the site:
Subject 53838

And here is a link with a search for SARS preloaded (can only search article titles):
freerepublic.com

The consensus of that group is that there is a tendency to underreport SARS by excluding SARS-like cases that don't have any known contact with a known SARS case. The primary motivation is politics, due to the stigma of SARS. This is probably not going to stop until there is a better test, or a general outbreak.

At any rate, the general public no longer cares about SARS. My 70-year-old dad just flew to Hong Kong and took a slow boat to Jiangmen. He says that airplane tickets and hotels are very cheap these days.
