Well there goes the "Indians have special immunity, India need have no fears of SARS" perspective (courtesy of the Indian government.)

The vessel left Thailand on April 28, and 10 of its 24 crews -- all reported to be of Indian origin -- were ill with fever, coughs and bodyaches, which are among the flu-like symptoms of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome.

Thailand, India?

As the endless lines of jumbo jets are lined up from Asia to America, on approach to an airport near you.....

[Betty Jo]

The ship "Bunga Melawis Satu" is owned by "Maylasian International Shipping Company -MISC",which is owned by "Petronas"which is owned by the Government of Maylasia.

It has complete control over the gas and oil of Maylasia.

Petronas has hundreds of subsidiaries all over the world,including joint ventures in America, Viet Nam, etc.

Petronas owns The Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur.

Their are Binny boy terrs in Maylasia.

So do we now have three ships with dead /and or sick guys?

Any connections?

Nicholas Brady, an ex Treasurer of the US is on the board of Armerada Hess,which is in business with Petronas.

Any thoughts?

SARS Mortality Rates [reflects treatment] Based on World Health Organization daily tables                 (Revised: 5/04am)
Area	Recoveries to date	Deaths to date	Recent** Death Rate		Active Cases still in Danger	Projected Future Deaths	Projected Cumulative Mortality
Hong Kong	898	179	17.9%		544	97	17.0%
Singapore	147	25	16.0%		31	5	14.8%
China	1406	190	36.0%		2375	854	26.3%
Canada	94	22	19.0%		33	6	18.8%
elsewhere [26 countries]	157	19	17.4%		114	20	13.4%
World-wide [all 30 countries]	2702	435			3097	982	22.7%
**  ( Deaths in the last 7 days) / ( Deaths + Recoveries in the last 7 days)

Observations - Treatment:
• Most areas had small improvements, resulting in the
  projected Mortality being improved to 22.7%.

Trend - Active Cases Still in Danger [reflects containment]

(includes new daily cases... excludes cases resolved by death or recovery)

Observations - Containment:
• The 'elsewhere' (26 countries) may have plateau'ed.
• China is the only area still in the red with increasing ACTIVE casecounts.
• Singapore and Canada seem to be in a horserace to get to ZERO active cases.
  (Canada had 7 new cases this week, Singapore +5 cases, maybe
  more if this tanker crew gets credited to Singapore.)

So much for the internet rumor that indians were immune to SARS.
