Thanks for the link.

They have an excellent chart showing the date of onset. The bulge from the apartment complex is obvious, as is a general downward trend in new cases since then.

If they are being honest with the numbers, then Hong Kong looks like they are gradually getting control of this thing. Each day is still showing a net increase in hospitalized patients, but the rate of increase is slowing significantly.

If this favorable trend keeps up, and the medical system can handle a continued but slowing increase, then Hong Kong will come out of this OK. They have not yet hit the peak number of hospitalizations, but it looks like they may be getting close.

This is VERY good news.

The news from the rest of China is pathetic, meaning SARS cannot be put back in the box overall. That means we may get to see what SARS can do if/when it gets loose in the slums of Calcutta and Mexico City. But we are getting better tools to work with too.
