Four more SARS deaths in Hong Kong .

[per loin]

That's the second article I've seen today that says the number of patients still in the hospital is 1005. I supect they get that figure by subtracting the 322 discharged from the 1327 admitted. But that ignores the 69 dead, unless Hong Kong has been including those dead in the discharged figure. If that so, my chart is overstating the number of recovered patients. There would then be 253 recovered to 69 dead, a ratio of only 3.7:1.

I should add that WHO is interpreting Hong Kong's figures the same way I have been.

Someone in China says they are about to come clean. (They've said this before..)

China to admit far more SARS cases

Supposedly they will admit to 300 confirmed cases in Beijing, and 500 suspected cases. They will raise the number of admitted deaths to 73 (not clear in the article where the deaths were).

No word if they will update numbers on Guangdong, allow outsiders to inspect military hospitals, or allow free access to WHO personnel in Beijing and Guangdong.

Gotta go, back Monday.
