CDC's calming voice gets the word out

At a recent press briefing on
SARS, Julie Gerberding was asked if it could be possible that the
mysterious new virus had fallen to Earth from outer space.

She laughed, but she answered the question with her usual
professional poise.

"We have no scientific evidence that SARS or any other
infectious disease has dropped off a meteor at this point in time,"
she said, adding, "but we have an open mind and should we
discover any evidence supportive of that, we would let you
know."
