Another good article on SARS

Stuart Derbyshire has written a follow-up article on spiked about SARS. A well-balanced piece, it makes the point that there are sensible precautions to be taken against SARS (especially for high-risk groups, like health workers in affected countries) but that the biggest problem has been the panic reaction to it.

And I liked his brief swipe at the precautionary principle so much that I've nicked it for this site.
