It doesn't sound like things are getting better.

"...extreme measures to flush out suspected victims."
Can you imagine being sick as a dog and being hunted just because you are sick...what a nightmare!

"Those who are well are sent off with a health advisory and a songsheet with lyrics to the Fight Sars anthem."
Stay on the sunny side, always on the sunny side, stay on the sunny side of life, you'll feel no pain as we drive you insane, so stay on the sunny side of life!

Yes & what if you only have a common cold & you are hauled off to the SARS hospital where you will catch SARS for sure. Awful!

They need to put a stop to the "exotic animal cooks" as well. No more dog, cat, or badger stew for a while.

We should be thankful that at least China is treating SARS as a very very serious problem and is taking drastic steps to combat it.
This is war, war against an invisible, ruthless and savage foe, no quarters will be given........
To: DeaconBenjamin
Closing the more than 25 community clinics, some smaller than a 4D and Toto outlet in Singapore, helps to shrink the network of medical facilities for easier contact tracing. A perfect example why socialism is a failure. By closing the clinics to consolidate power, most SARS patients will now stay home and infect their villages. BUT! Hey, the paperwork will be simpler.
To: American in Israel
I guess the time to quarantine China is rapidly approaching, to let the disease run its' course there and there alone.

FYI, Singapore is a small Island State with a popultion of 3 million and it is just one big metropolis , a gigantic concrete-jungle
It is anything but socialist, it is more capitalistic than the US

Badgers? We don't need no stinkin' badgers!

Indeed, and democratic governments do not close the clinics in "China's rural areas" to make it easier to track patients.

-grin- And just exactly what does Singapore have to do with the price of clinics in China?
Hey, easy to misread a post in the wee hours of the morning...

Incredible. This is a very bizarre set of actions...I have an idea that the Chinese emergency is far far worse than we imagine...
To: aristeides
I'm just imagining how this would seem in the US, for instance.
The latest SARS update from a hypothetical midwest state: All hospitals except say one city and one county hospital closing their ERs, having all patients go to one intake area for evaluation for SARS, then sent off to a) a hospital for obvious SARS patients, no matter what else is wrong, including a broken leg or hot appendix or b) a hospital which will keep patients quarantined until they come down with SARS or not, no matter what else is wrong, including sick gall bladders or breast lumps or c) a hospital that intakes anyone who can be proven not to have SARS--in other words, political officials, favored mistresses, community leaders, local folks able to bribe a doctor or d) a building which will keep everybody who has waited too long and is now dying of SARS, with a self-contained "disposal" unit.
All doctors' offices and urgent care clinics--closed.
*Sigh*. As I typed this speculation, it all began to seem too real...

"Can you imagine being sick as a dog and being hunted just because you are sick...what a nightmare!" Yup. Mobs, torches and dogs flashed into my mind.

You outlined this scenerio very well...but we will be using stadiums and closed army facilities for general population quarantines.
To: Domestic Church
but we will be using stadiums and closed army facilities for general population quarantineshmmm...Remember these tin foil stories floating around about Y2K time?
There over 600 prison camps in the United States, all fully operational and ready to receive prisoners. They are all staffed and even surrounded by full-time guards, but they are all empty. These camps are to be operated by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) should Martial Law need to be implemented in the United States.
