The CDC news conference a couple of hours ago was scary!

CNN is having a special with Paula tonight on SARS.

It continues to be delicious to search and find all the old hits on the terrorists and their connections to biotech companies.

A guy on FOX just said that there were SARS case(s) in Loudon County, Virginia before China said they had them.

Do you know anthing about that?

SARS seems to have been in China since about November, I am guessing the reporter was in error.

There was an article about her. She went back to China for the first time in many years and came back with sars. She I believe is fine now. IIRC none of her family got it from her. She plans to never go back again.

There was a case of SARS in Loudoun County a couple of weeks ago (the woman has recovered.) But I think that was well after China admitted having cases of SARS (it was before they admitted the numbers, of course.)

Can you tell us what the CDC said? I missed their comments...

Why was it scary?

I was mistaken. The Loudoun County case was earlier than I thought. According to this article in last Sunday's Washington Post, the victim fell ill on Feb. 5, after returning to this country from Guangzhou.
