j3pflynn, SARs economnic effect should be minor (although it may make a handy excuse in earnings reports from Taiwan). The outbreak does seem containable - the pattern in China was that as people recognized it, affected individuals made their way to cities where they were treated. China had a large spike and then things settled down.

In terms of numbers, SARs is minor when compared to flu, heart attacks and auto accidents. Its main economic affects are secondary, affecting travel. It won't deplete the factories or otherwise interfere with production.
