Looks like the Army of the Twelve Monkeys is wreaking havoc:

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), a pneumonia-like virus that has killed 63 people and infected almost 1,900 in 12 countries, is being spread around the world by air travellers.

-- Mystery disease spreads: 75 new cases

Sometimes, science fiction is just a little too prescient....

The Junk Science posting really sorta debunks that this is any kind of unusual thing. A lot of stuff is getting said in popular press that is true for any similar disease, including ones that are wandering around already.

Follow the money, someone once told me.

Please, this is not to say that we shouldn't take caution, and that the deaths aren't real. They are, but we should put this in perspective.
