So when are you planning your next trip to Southern China?

Those hundreds of dead SARS victims in China and Canada would beg to differ with this author's dismissal of the seriousness of SARS. The medical professionals treating vicims of SARS might also disagree with his poor excuse for humor as they risk their own lives to treat SARS victims.

This is a nasty bug that needs to be handled properly, before it gets out of hand. Had China sought professional help in battling this disease much earlier, many of these people would not have been exposed to SARS and few would have died.

SARS may do what no reformer has been able to accomplish - force the ChiComms to open up their records, else risk becoming isolated from the rest of the World's economy.

Who wants to travel to China (or Hong Kong) for business or as a tourist now? That has to be the most daunting question on the minds of China's leaders and their trading partners.

An interesting question would be "IS CHINA THE VICTIM OF A BIO-TERROR ATTACK ?"

If so, by whom ?

Did a madman, or group of madmen started this?

In this world, anything is possible. There are a lot of Mankind-hating nuts out there
