I am not that psychotic however... and I would never want to intentionally cause illness upon anyone. It's just... hard for me to see those in non-affected( or lesser-affected) countries make light of it( not that I am having a grudge against any of them).

I think for me this was poking fun not at WHO's travel advisories and steps to prevent the spread as it is at the complete panic that some people here (the U.S) seem to be in about SARS. I think, at least to me, the comment was how these people are blowing it out of proportion, not that WHO is.
