I read in the Financial Times (UK) yesterday the Thai Govenrment are offering £100,000 if you catch SARS in Thailand.This is because they are convinced it is well under control and at no risk within the Country.

Comments please on;

Is SARS under control?

Do you really believe the government will pay out?

Of course they won't pay up.

Firstly you have to prove that you caught it in the los and not on the plane or somewhere else.

Secondly you cannot cash the cheque after you have snuffed it.

thetyim, you are wrong I think. There is a guarantee/insurance: The Thai Gov't was so smart so they took out an insurance agianst it:

B10m SARS insurance policy for tourists

You can find followups to this insurance in the news (Google?)
