The biggest worry is if this thing walks onto a plane.
My guess is that it probably already has.
Could be catastrophic.

I dont think there`s much you can check for tiger.. They are not letting people board a plane if they have a high temperature..
The problem is if they develop symptoms after they have arrived.
This is all rather scary if you ask me.

Had a few drinks last night with a chap who has just came back from working somewhere in that region. We used the tagay system. With a bit of luck the nog was strong enough to kill any virus!
