Those people at the wedding in India are apparently all recovering nicely, in their quarantine.

China? They already have a one child policy to limit their population. That's not to say that I believe SARS was created in a lab.

WHO SAYS DONT GO TO TORONTO UNLESS YOU HAVE TO.

Lotta good land in China, I think I'll buy an empty lot by the coast in a few years. ;-)

So much for FOX and their Breaking News.

A female student at Seton Hall had a female relative who has SARS visit in her dorm room.

I see its hours old though, not breaking.

The "google news sort by date" is very handy to see what is really new news.

Good advice. We need to contain this thing in Toronto until it dies out, if that's possible.

SARS STRIKES TWO ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES . It doesn't sound as if either case is serious. People of college age seem to recover from SARS quite nicely.

Just yesterday CDC say it was OK to go to Toronto,just stay away from hospitals.

Will CDC change its travel warning to match WHO?

Will this become a sort of battle of the minds/turf war?

I'm getting whiplash trying to keep up.

"Psst. It's okay to say "white people"."

If that's the case, then he was using the term anglo-saxon incorrectly. he should have said "white" or "caucasian". I thought he was referring to all caucasians as anglo-saxons, which would be incorrect. it's a very specific term just like "celtic" is a very specific term, indicating racial or biological/genetic characteristics.

Thanks. I was just going to post that link.

So how many parents will pull their kids out of Seton Hall?

[CathyRyan]

Well it is official I am burnt out on the sars topic and I am taking a few days off. Will check in from time to time. It looks like their are plenty of people to keep up with the latest. Take care.

FYI.

FOX now saying that Canadian government is freaking out re the WHO travel advisory.Canada is sending a letter of protest to WHO.

[Myrddin]

A little idle speculation: if this is a bioweapon created by the Chinese, the "test subjects" were likely Chinese prisoners. They may have unintentionally optimized the pathogen to kill their prisoner population, but never checked to see if it was equally effective against other ethnic/racial groups.

An article cited on Steve Quayle's website claims this is a Chinese bioweapon and that it was purposely released in November 2002 by Jiang Zemin and the PRC.

It may be tin-foil hat time, but there have been research attempts to make racially specific diseases.

Getting back to the thread title.."Is sub continent immune"
I think only Bin Laden and or/Saddam is immune.

Britain issues Toronto travel warning.

[Betty Jo]

Steve Quayle was on coast to coast am last night.Art Bells old show.

Stevie also talked about fallen angels mating with earthies,and six digited giants on earth.

So, I think he is a nuts!

I put that interview with the Australian doctor up on its own thread: Aust virologist leads WHO's fight against SARS (AUSTRALIAN LATELINE INTERVIEW).

[aristeides]

Text of SARS travel advisory by World Health Organization.

Baltimore doctor has SARS symptoms: Physician who recently traveled to Toronto is being treated at Hopkins; Hong Kong woman improving, health commissioner says .

Maybe that Toronto advisory makes sense.
