To: brigette
Well, here's hoping that they are among the millions who are NOT affected, in Hong Kong. I WILL keep your mom and her boss in my prayers.
To: Judith Anne
Back with another answer to your question. I worry about SARS infecting the monkeys. I'm not sure we could ever get a handle on it if that happens.
To: per loin
I've read that primates are affected exactly the same way as humans.
To: Judith Anne
Yes. I've not yet checked on the primate population of the planet, but I'd bet that it would be much harder to quarantine them.
To: Judith Anne
Hong Kong is trying to get its figures posted now, but appear to be having a problem doing so.
To: per loin; Judith Anne
I haven't followed the SARS threads very closely but saw on another thread that markets and restaurants in Hong Kong,Taiwan,etc. were pretty much closed down.
This will hurt my income and I was wondering if you had heard if the Oriental markets and restaurants in N.Y,Calif.,etc. are being hurt by a fear of SARS?
To: per loin
And "they" said herding cats was hard... Seriously, lab monkeys get SARS just like humans. And from what I've seen and read, monkeys are everywhere people are...
To: Free Trapper
Yes. Chinatowns are hurting all over.
To: Free Trapper
No, I haven't heard, but I wonder...
To: Judith Anne
Yes. And interact with humans. Effective spreaders?
To: Judith Anne
Hong Kong has taken down its figures from yesterday, and instead of posting new ones, they've posted the letter "C".
To: per loin
In biological warfare terms, most likely yes.
Heck, even in emerging plague terms, yes.
To: per loin
Posted the letter "C"? What does that mean?
To: Judith Anne
No idea, but the Chinese have an odd sense of humor. We once bought a toy for one of the kids at Christmas, and it came with batteries! Only problem was, they didn't work. When I replaced them with good ones, I noticed they were from the We Fu Yu Battery Company.
To: Judith Anne
As i suspected a jump in cases. 52 new ones.
To: per loin
LOL!
Anyway, my curiosity is up. I'll be interested in seeing what developes today.
To: Judith Anne
Ooops now it says 22 new cases.
To: Judith Anne
Whoops! Missed the post with the new cases, was replying to the battery post...
This is NOT good news.
To: per loin
Hmmmmm.....
