I think everybody's economy has been impacted by the events surrounding and following the WTC. SARS has just needlessly made a bad situation worse.

Yes I agree. I guess the point I was trying to make regarding Djinn's post and your reply, was that in fact if people took what I think his advice to be, that is don't believe that if you step outside the door without a mask you'll get SARS and be dead by morning, and god forbid you spend any money, it would be better for the economy all round! The reason the economy is suffering is not because people are right in that if they travel and go shopping they will get it, but because the media has made them afraid that they will.
