Stephanie the information says that the flight was from Tokio to San Jose,CA but I heard that originally it began in Hong Kong but that has not been confirmed and I hope that with this that sar syndrome doesn't spread into the US.

This is really starting to get creepy.
Don't think that hasn't crossed my mind too bfez. :o
Unlikely, but I guess it's possible. I hope they find out what this is asap!

Sorry Stephanie I was rushing to type this news that I typed Tokyo in spanish (Tokio)but that has been edited.
And Bonnie I am thinking of that too about this being some kind of quiet terrorism.

I have thought about it being terrorism myself, but why start it in China? That kind of blew up my theory. I have to go pick up my sisters from school. Keep us informed!

I've spoken to a couple of "regulars" here by land line, and the VERY distinct possibility that we are dealing with an "engineered" disease is far from discounted....as to why China? Think about it carefully; what better way to "get involved" without "getting involved" in the global situation?

Thanks Luis - I realized after my first post that you did have "Tokio" and I knew what you meant then. That's interesting, I never knew that's how it's spelt in Spanish.
I don't think that China would be bothered by the fact that it has affected it's people too, if they did have anything to do with it.

I was thinking what better way to spread a terrorist created plague..The asian population is so huge and they travel alot for pleasure and business..back and forth to the United States and Europe :o So it would be easy to infect the population albeit slowly but effectively?? Just a thought

Could be just a coincidence :o

Unless the medical people and their science can find the cause I will believe that it is some kind of foul play or semantic terrorism.

Fox News
SAN JOSE, Calif. — An airliner from Asia was briefly halted on a tarmac in San Jose, Calif., on Tuesday -- the most dramatic sign yet that a mysterious illness blamed for more than 60 deaths worldwide is provoking worry in the United States.
As it turned out, none of the five passengers who caused concern among the flight crew had the disease.
