Hi Kerry - We don't yet know the ancestry of the 20 or so US residents who brought the virus back from HK and China, but I would expect about 3-5 to have some Asian ancestry.... Many were from Silicon Valley. I can't see US care being different from Canada. I wonder if there is a behavioural compenent -like smoking, prehaps ? We may find out soon enough with more data.

>>Of greater concern though, is that the disease is spreading among medical care givers (especially in both China and Hong Kong) at even higher rates, << 1/3 of the 1st 300 some SARS patients in Guangdong were medical care givers. but after they adopted strict measures, now almost none of them got infected. As for HK, the central Air-conditioning and not enough fresh air circulation really contributes the continuing spread among medical staffs. Few hospitals in China has central air.
