"Wrong. DU's disrupt because they despise us, others disrupt because things are too sensationalized, and full of eroneous informational analyses."



This is Mrs Huckleberry, and I think the word you want is erroneous. But even a genius can make a spelling error,

OK - so genius, you have bitched and moaned all day without contributing one bit of information or analysis:

"things are too sensationalized,"

Are you suggesting that the information from the world press posted here is fraudulent?

Or are you suggesting that this information should not be posted because it is "too sensational"

"full of eroneous informational analysis."

Will you please explain which bit of analysis you find in error? And give us the grace to hear your correct and insightful analysis?

I suspect you have no idea what you are talking about and are just blowing out your bowels, but here is your big chance.

Show us what you got,

[Mother Abigail]

You are quite welcome

You have done your share as well

Authorities looking for 55
By WONG SAI WAN AND SUSAN TAM
HONG KONG: Fifty-five Malaysians are among 2,000 people being traced by health authorities worldwide after it was discovered they had stayed at Metropole Hotel in Mongkok, located in Waterloo Road Kowloon, where the atypical pneumonia outbreak is believed to have originated. 

The guests had been in the hotel from Feb 18 to March 3 – a period in which officials believed they were exposed to the killer virus. 
Malaysian consul-general Abdul Aziz Harun confirmed receiving the list of Malaysians from the Department of Health here and that it had been forwarded to the Health Ministry.  

"More critical is the search for three Malaysians who stayed on the 9th floor of the hotel which was ground zero for the outbreak here," Aziz said in an interview.

To expand on the "Chronological Compilation" you may want to run a search on "pneumonia" and "flu-like". Several articles have been posted before it was named SARS.

[Mother Abigail]

Thank you,

You are the second person to mention that fact.

I will try to find the time and make the addition...

[Brian S]

Nice list, btw!

[TaxRelief]

Technically, if the increase is from 0, then the increase is infinite%.

[per loin]

Of course, but the reason for calculating from November is the appearance of the first case then.

[GOPJ]

Thanks

Is this an antibiotic resistant pneumonia spliced to a common cold virus? A good question?!
