in a bid to attract tourists to thailand, the government has decided to offer a US$100,000 compensation for the deceased should the unfortunate person pass away from SARS within 30 days of his/her visit to thailand. the government also offers up to US$10,000 to cover hospitalization costs.

gosh i am so tempted to set foot in thailand, and contact SARS. and if luck be on my side, die on the 29th day of my departure.
