Where Would the Next Outbreak Be?

If I had to guess, I think that the next SARS outbreak would be somewhere in Asia or North America. The reason for this is because that is where it was most prominent during its last outbreak. It was mostly in China, Hong Kong, United States, and Canada. More than likely, though, I would guess that the next outbreak be in China because that's where SARS originated.

SARS

Severe acute respiratory, or SARS, made it's way into the world only a decade ago. It was founded in 2002 and lost in 2003, however it infected almost 10,000 people in 38 countries within eight months. Unfortunately, it has no treatment, vaccine, or cure, but luckily there are steps to prevent being exposed to such a ruthless disease.
