In those days, almost everyone in Hong Kong wore the mask. My mother didn't like the mask because it was too hot. Whenever she went out, people were scared of her and stayed away from her. My father had some coughing problem (not related to SARS), so he wanted to wear the mask all the time.
Then they took a train to Shenzhen. On the other side of the border, almost nobody wore mask. When people saw my father with the mask, they were scared (thought he had SARS) and stayed away from him.
I wanted my parents to come to the US during that time to avoid contracting SARS. My parents thought it was a bad idea, because all travelers from Hong Kong had to be quarantined for a few days, and they could contract SARS during quarantine.
Fortunately SARS is all in the past now.
