No, its the 'fault' of SARS.
They got badly stung by it last time, so were better prepared (than pretty much everyone) this time.
That does not mean they got everything perfect however.
I'm certain that every country in the world could have done better (including SK), and all wish they had.
I'm equally sure most will review all the events over time, with a view to being better prepared in the future.

Yes we do, but constantly pointing fingers isn't going to fix anything.
Getting it right is not some simple "do this, then this, then this" and we'll all be ok.
It's complex, and almost completely unknown territory, no one is going to 'get it right' all the time.

I dont know a single person who believes "nothing has gone wrong to date".
The only permanent solution, of course, is immunity, however we actually get there.
