Well it looks like I'm gonna die :(


That is if they let this shit get off the plane that's about 1/4 mile from where I'm sitting.



Plane Quarantined at San Jose Airport
Tuesday, April 01, 2003

SAN JOSE, Calif. � An American Airlines flight from Tokyo was quarantined on the tarmac Tuesday at San Jose's airport after five people on board complained of symptoms like those reported from the mysterious flu-like illness spreading through Asia, health officials said.

Two passengers and two crew members, plus a fifth unidentified person, complained of symptoms similar to those found in severe acute respiratory syndrome � which has afflicted hundreds in Hong Kong and killed at least 64 people worldwide.

It was not immediately clear when the people became ill, only that they reported to the crew during the flight that they "think they may have SARS," said Joy Alexiou, a spokeswoman for the Santa Clara County Public Health Department.

Alexiou added that "we're pretty sure four of the five transferred from Hong Kong to Tokyo."

Flight 128 from Tokyo to Mineta San Jose International Airport stopped on the tarmac short of the gate mid-morning Tuesday, and ambulances lined up near the plane as the 125 passengers and 14 crew members waited on board after the nine-hour flight.

American Airlines notified the airport that help was needed after "the captain was informed of a passenger needing medical assistance," said Todd Burke, a spokesman for the airline.

More than 1,600 cases of the illness have been reported so far worldwide. Officials say it's unclear whether exposure on a flight is sufficient to infect people.

Alexiou said the passengers and crew members who feel sick will be transported to a hospital for chest X-rays and to have their travel history checked before they are classified as suspected cases of SARS.

"This thing seems to spread a little easier than first anticipated, so we want to take every precaution," Alexiou said.

Others on the plane will be given medical advice and allowed to depart � but told to immediately contact a doctor if they develop any symptoms, she said.

If ya watched news this morinin at 12, they said it cannot be transfered to others my hand to hand contact. Now why would it be transmitted through the air?

Plus who would be more likely to die, everyone in the airport trying to get their flights, or you that lives quater mile from the airport?

Well I dont hav ta worry, for I live 20 miles from the airport in da Santa Cruz mountains..

95% of the people that contract this survive. It's very dangerous, but the severity of it has been overblown.
