I've been sort of ignoring this SARS thing. Could someone fill me in please.

Here are a couple pics of my wife and daughter at the Hong Kong airport last week.

Just do a search on FR, use SARS as your key word.

Type in Sars as a keyword and have at it. Remember SARS is not the flu, and it is not yet known if it will be reoccurring for those who are lucky enough to recover. The experts claim that the mortality rate is 4%, but from what I can tell there is a rather large percentage of patients that are not getting any better. Watch Hong Kong closely. HK hospitals are just starting to get overwhelmed and I worry that infection rates will rise sharply once this happens. The SARS threads have many posters who say it’s overblown. I hope they are right.
