Sars is spread by a disease from this animal aparrently thats how it started. Over 700 people have died so far most of them from China. And it is not just the asians spreading it is the animal and tourists that fly and come in contact with others in other countrys. I personally do not aggree with the email,

I don't agree with this email either. That's why I posted on this forum and forwarded it to all my friends. Thanks for your support.
