Different means to the same end: A comparative contingency analyses of Singapore and China’s management of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) crisis
Abstract
For months in 2003, the world lay under siege by a strain of virus that masqueraded aspneumonia but inflicted a far more lethal effect. By all accounts, the mystery of howthe severe respiratory acute syndrome (SARS) virus came to be has remained largelyunsolved (Bradsher & Altman 2003). What began as routine fever and cough in aChinese physician, later identified as a super-carrier, rapidly spread to people whohad cursory contacts with him, spiralling into a worldwide crisis that spanned Asia andthe North Americas (Rosenthal 2003).
