I thought SARS would really cause serious problems since it was at times explosively contagious. A single person infected an entire building. Entire hospitals were infected. People were infected during a single elevator ride.
What avoided an epidemic was that a mechanical means of making the virus airborne, such as a ventilation fan or nebulizers, was required, or someone coughing directly on another person, and just a lot of effort and a lot of dumb luck says the NIH.
