>>I think the virus is currently spreading, but only causing mild disease because the seasonal co-factor(s) are missing. Next fall/winter will bring together the mutated virus and the seasonal factors and then it will be quite evident as whether to the quarantine efforts put SARS back in the box, or if the epidemic came under control because of external factors.>> I have some problems understanding the seasonal factor. As there has been a fair number of cases in Singapore, one would suspect that the spread of the virus in that location should not be so much affected by seasonal factors, as they don't appear to have much of a variation in their weather. weather.yahoo.com Erik
