The laboratory confirmation of SARS CoV has raised the issue of other cases. For a reference point, here are the index cases for last season's outbreak. The dates are for first symptoms, but many of these cases were identified as SARS through tracebacks.

I suspect that similar cases this season would take several weeks before such cases would be made public. Last year SARS didn't really get going until January:

The onset date for index cases for 7 of the earliest 2002/2003 outbreaks in Guangdong Province are:

Fushon (Nov 16)
Heyuan (Dec 10)
Jiangmen (Dec 21)
Zhongshan (Dec 26)
Guangzhou (Jan 2)
Shenzhen (Jan 15)
Zhaouqing (Jan 17)
