4 Suspected SARS Cases in Scotland, UK - Breaking

[Pert_UK]

Just caught this breaking news on Sky TV news in the UK.

4 people have been put in isolation in an Edinburgh hospital and are suspected of having SARS. The only details provided were that they are 3 Asian tourists and an ambulanceman.

I really hope that SARS isn't starting up again.

1. My sister's three kids in Edinburgh got sick this week

All three started to vomit the same night. They think it's the flu.

2. I'm sure they'll be OK......

It sounds like even if it is SARS then only people in direct contact with the carriers will have been exposed.

Kids get sick all the time, and if you've got them living in the same house then they'll get sick together.
