I used to underestimate, or disregard the sars threat, at least until now, using similar arguments, like: there are a few (100s, 1000s) Sars cases in an area wíth 450 Mio inhabitants (south china, hongkong), so it "should be" just an epidemic spot, like we have here with encephalitis in a few dozen school children every few years or so... or a small ebola rage in central africa which extinguishes itself after a while.

Of course, as long as little is known about a new thing, speculation about might be, if.... is naturally only growing higher. The good news, however is that is is not really a deadly disease.
