wow. what a terrible situation re SARS in your country. i have not been
keeping up to date w/ it so much, as I believe there have been no cases in
my state, Louisiana USA. In fact, today i heard a blip on the radio that
maybe it should be called MARS because most cases are *mild* acute resp
syndrome.
In your situation, perhaps you could get ahold of some facts on the types of
people who are succumbing to this disease - my understanding being the
elderly and otherwise immune suppressed types. Perhaps you could contact a
public health official or even World Health official and surely they would
be recommending continued bf, as you say, with good hygiene and common sense
health practices. Then you could inform the moms who call that you have it
on the authority of WHO (for example) that continued bf is the most
important thing to decrease the risk to the baby.
