The war we should fight is the war against SARS. The government should simply ban everybody from the affected countries (or at least, have them get certificates from their country that they are SARS-free and be quarantined for 14 days there before flying/being shipped to the Philippines)

Drastic... yes... but doable. We seriously don't need this kind of problem... and our way of life (esply the urban poor) will just allow the virus to fester and spread really fast.

I'm serious. It's scary.
