The W.H.O. thinks it may be air or waterbourne or from coughs. may come on like a flu, but can cause death within 2-4 days. rate of death under 10% of victims so far. no known cause, mode of infection, or treatment. 2,300 cases worldwide, doubling time is 2 weeks so far. singapore closed it's schools. 8% of a hong kong hospital staff died in days. people wearing face masks in public in asia. may have started in china but has passed through travellers. Canada has passed legislation allowing for quarantine without telling you if you are infected there. This has hit the U.S. already. http://www.globalchange.com/sars.htm look on the internet for more info and make decisions to protect yourself as much as you can. i don't even think staying away from people would be an overreacting sort of idea. just letting you know.
