    It is quite interesting to take a step back and look at the list
    traffic with respect to the war in Iraq and actions being taken
    to deal with the SARS (viruses). The SARS situation has already
    killed dozens and forced the shut down of the school systems in
    two of the world's leading cities.

    The medical opinion is mixed at this point since SARS may require
    two viruses, a paramyxovirus and a coronavirus. But it isn't too
    soon for extropes to begin thinking about how they might deal with
    this. Unlike the war in Iraq -- this is a danger that can end up
    on your doorstep.
