Not sure how much physical contact between Taiwan and Mainland China and Hong Kong - I know there is a lot between Mainland and Hong Kong. Two BIG problems in Mainland - - they are not classifying anything as SARS but full-blown SARS that practically needs a respirator - - people are getting infected without contact with any known vector - I think #2 is the inevitable result of #1. Hong Kong and Singapore are using draconian definitions and quarantines and their infection levels are dropping. Not sure about Taiwan, but it appears that they are not. Horrible, like watching a hundred cars crashing into each other on the highway. Impossible to stop, impossible to look away. Not to mention the fact that anybody with the resources and the sanity would avoid quarantine in a SARS-filled environment unless in extremis.
