super cold, SARS, don't travel to HK, China, &Viet Nam

[cnwk64]

If you don't knwo what SARS is, take look here
currently, there are 1408 case worldwide.
and more than 50 people dead!!
I think the number is way underestimate, since SARS's early stage is much like flu, most people don't bother to seek medical help.
CDC has issue Health Alert Notice for International Travelers Arriving in or Returning to the USA From Hong Kong and Guangdong Province, People's Republic of China, and Hanoi, Vietnam.

edit: it should be in OT, oh... too much beer........

[Marauder-]

Yeah - areas infected are actually quarantining whole blocks and against people's wills.

Heh, I haven't watched TV for quite a few years... as for newspaper, I do read it, but maybe only once a week or so. I keep myself informed mainly through Yahoo news.

Although, with a nick like ReiAyanami, I can hardly imagine you being anywhere close to or even beyond 30

 

[krackato]

You don't watch TV?!

 

[ViperV990]

In fact, I don't even own one! Minus the TV card that I've lying around...

 

[tkimball]

Listening to NPR this morning, they reported that SARS has been rampant in China since November. They just didn't tell anyone about it...

I actually used to get the hard copy of it every week, but now I just read it online.

Not really, the news is so much sensationalized fear and propoganda I choose not to watch it. I don't wan't to be aware of ever tragedy that ever happens anywhere, I find that overwhelming.

dude...in november everyone just thought it was a kind of flu...they didnt know it was inaffective against antibiotics.. and it wasnt even serious then....so why would CHina want to tell everyone? and cause a world panic?

theres no need to.

lets say ur family caught a cold.....do u warn and tell everyone else? no u dont

 

[sxr7171]

Thanks for the info. I don't watch TV either even though I have 2 of them. They are used for DVD, and Video Games.

 

[NeoZGeo]

I heard the virus can stay in the air for as long as 6 hours!! Some werid mutated flu.

"Green has lived without television since 1989, when his then-girlfriend moved out and took her set with her."

Ha ha, it's not that he doesn't like TV, he's just holding a mammoth grudge that his gf took his TV when she split! Can you say "lewzer"?

I guess that depends on how contagious the cold is and how many of my family members have died from it!

Yeah, Henry David Thoreau said "I would not rush around a corner to see the end of the world." Bump for a real hot deal! Stay cool, stay healthy.
