I do not think China will let us in until they get around to admitting that they do not know how many SARS cases there are because they stopped asking. I bet a bunch of poor smucks have been told if they reported to Beijing any cases of SARS they would be out of a job and in poor health. I would guess we are still getting numbers that they had before they stopped collecting data. If you don't write it down it never happened.
More update on the wire:
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20030402/ap_on_he_me/mystery_illness_travel_5 The United Nations (news - web sites) health agency on Wednesday advised travelers to avoid going to Hong Kong and the Chinese province of Guangdong because of a deadly outbreak of a mystery disease.
The World Health Organization (news - web sites) said it was taking the action because at least nine foreign businessmen have caught Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS, in Hong Kong and returned with it to their home countries

I personally think all travel should be BANNED rather than advised against UNTIL China let's the WHO IN.
But I think CathyRyan is right. China is just hoping this goes away.
