"The first discovery of the virus outside China, 10 years after an outbreak of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS, may lead to increased scrutiny of travelers into and out of the country. Taiwan’s largest trade partner is battling to control its spread, which so far has killed 22, according to data compiled by Bloomberg from reports released by the government and the World Health Organization.
“With any new influenza virus that emerges, the concern is that it could genetically mutate to become easily transmissible between human beings,” Raina MacIntyre, a professor of infectious diseases at the University of New South Wales, said in an interview before the announcement of Taiwan’s confirmed case. “With all past pandemics and even with SARS, they were spread around the world by travel.”"  Bloomberg.org


There will be great earthquakes,
and in various places famines and pestilences.

P.S.-We should be careful with "headline prophecy"....with all the outbreak of SARS over the last decade it sort of fits in a small way....but by itself isn't some sort of fullfillment....
