Breaking:SARS IS BACK!

According to a Chinese newspaper in Hongkong

DDDAAYYYUUUMMM!

I'm in Hong Kong, and it was surreal last time, with everybody wearing a mask all the time.

I do hope not.

Oh please SARS was all hype and no cough, even the WHO said the numbers were all messed up with the yearly numbers of people who would get pneumonia. yeah you had to be fast to watch that admission on the WHO website which i did see as i was heading to NZ which took me through SARS town you have more to worry about crossing the road ...

but saying that it was man made and the reason it got out was because someone who should have known better freaked out and he took SARS with him in to the outside world

Taiwan urges China to verify and publicize suspected SARS cases

Taipei - A Taiwan health official on Sunday asked Beijing to verify and publicize 'immediately' suspected severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) cases in China's Guangdong province.

'According to the Hong Kong press, some people have been isolated at the No 8 People's Hospital in Guangzhou and are suspected of having SARS,' Shih Wen-yi, deputy director of the Centres for Disease control (CDC), told the Central News Agency (CNA).

'We hope the Chinese authorities can immediately verify and publicize the information, to avoid delayed treatment and epidemic control,' Shih said.

'So far all our information is from the Hong Kong press. Taiwan has not received notice about the suspected SARS cases from the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention,' Shih said.

Shih said that late last year, there was a case of avian influenza in Anhui province, but China did not report it to the World Health Organization (WHO) until early this year, causing a delay of one month.

'CDC is closely monitoring Guangdong's suspected SARS cases. We urge Taiwanese who have travelled to Guangdong to see doctor if they have fever or other discomfort,' CNA quoted Shih as saying.

According to Hong Kong's Singtao Daily, reports about the suspected SARS cases in the Guangdong capital Guangzhou appeared on the internet on Friday.

It was rumoured that dozens of people had been isolated at the No 8 People's Hospital, suspected of having SARS. Several Guangdong military hospitals have been instructed to stand ready to receive emergency patients, Singtao Daily reported on Sunday.

On Saturday, a Singtao Daily reporter phoned the No 8 People's Hospital and was told by one staff member that there were suspected SARS cases at the hospital, but when the reporter asked a doctor at the same hospital to confirm it, the doctor refused to comment.
