hcraboc, I personally don't think this story will disappear from the front page for a few more days. The more people infected & carrying the virus the greater the panic will become. Most in Australia aware of story, but it changes when suspected inflected victims start reporting to hospitals. It is extremely hard to isolate carriers given the amount of air travel. While I believe this virus will prove to be far easier to deal with than SARS, because it is treatable. BTA is capable of far higher price i.e. $2 plus, but we need to remember BTA only benefit via a royalty, while Smith Glaxo will make more on each sale & could be constrainted in the amount of physical production levels possible from their plants.
