SARS information for us

[Rollie Parrish <rparrish@flightweb.com>]

No doubt just about everyone has heard and read about the new deadly SARS
(Severe Adult Respiratory Syndrome) virus. I wonder if anyone has found
any information resources on-line for healthcare providers with solid
recommendations for making a clinical diagnosis and for treatment?

Not to be alarmist, but it's just a matter of time before a patient with
this diagnosis is transported by air from a small-town hospital or clinic.
I can easily picture flight crews and others being exposed prior to
recognizing it. Do any of the more progressive flight teams already have
protocols or even just verbal guidelines on how to deal with this when it
comes up?
