I don't think things got stupid during SARS. I worked in a hospital at the time, and yeah, some of the precautions were a little silly or annoying. The hospital was restricted down to 1 entrance so they could control who was coming and going, and that was a bit inconvenient. Every morning I had to sign a release saying I didn't even have the sniffles and hadn't been to China that week (yeah, cause after work yesterday I flew to China and back), but I guess it made you think about how you felt that day, so that's good. And I had to remember my ID every day, no sneaking in and saying I forgot it at home. Again, not an unreasonable expectation no matter what the circumstances.

I look on this as a little thing we can do for the greater common good. Like why we have speed limits. Sure I can control my vehicle at a lot higher speed than that road is rated, and sure I go over a little, but I don't gun it and try to see what my vehicle's top speed really is. If I did someone might die, and it might well be me, so I drive a reasonable speed and I expect others to do the same.
