I think they are doing a good job, with the policies in the hostpitals, the people being quarentined etc. It might not be the most pleasant thing, but it seems pretty effective to conrol it.

The CDC in Atlanta, announced last week that they have developed a blood test to detect it.

I am not sure about the US, but I KNOW some have died in Canada....

Do you think Hong Kong is doing a good job? I am not sure if you are including them in with "China"..... You know, with that whole 1997 thing and all....

It just seems the most densely populated areas are going to be the hardest hit.

Technically, Hong Kong is part of China. Until 1997, it was a British territory. It was given back to the Chinese.... Hong Kong is not communist and the people live an American-type life. China has promised not to mess with Hong Kong's way of life for 50 years after 1997....

After that time, I wouldn't want to live in Hong Kong.....

I know that because Hong Kong is a place I want to live at....

As for Taiwan, China claims it but really has no power over it.

I think Hong Kong is beautiful....

I think they will end up stoping it completly though.

According to something I heard (I have a hard time believing that though) more people die from the Flu then SARS. But, how can you die from a cold? Just take some tylonal, shut up, and go to bed.

Actually, Flu is still a pretty serious cold. But it's still not comparable to SARS, Anthrax, or even Cancer.

If you have a really weak immune system, you can die from it. There are no cures for viruses. It is up to your own immune system to fight it.

Actually, that is true... the symptoms of a cold are the body fighting the virus, so if the body can't fight it...
