Serious problem or panic attack?

Yeah, but it's not summer anymore. Wasn't that disease carried by mosquitos? With people dying and no way of stopping it, I would say it has potential to be a serious problem.

i think its a real problem, the disease can be spread so easlily, all it takes is someone infected getting on a plane in Hong Kong, heading for america or europe, then its a big problem. it doesn't mean that i'm worried about getting it at this point, but it is still a serious problem, especially in China.

Thanx for the concern, but it is really not as big a problem as its made out to be. I think that the anti-asian feelings that have arose (is that that word I want?) because of it is actully a much bigger problem.

The problem is so big because the Comunist gov. counldnt admit that they had problem they counldn't solve, because it would make them look weak in the eyes of the rest of the world or that the communist actually need the help of other countries.

SARS can fuck itself. Cancer owns

its not a panic attack or a serious problem...yet. its just a problem that needs to be dealt with as soon as possible because it has the potential to become something huge...its already spread more then expected. and most of SE Asia is at high risk...and have like 6 ppl died in Canada from it so far?

[evil zach]

I think thats acurate, but they were all infected before they knew how it was spread.

[NOFXdesendents5]

some adopted kid brought it to my state (MA). now people are dieing here.

goddamn kind hearted kidless couples and poor kids....

yes it is a serious problem... but its getting taken care of
well i live in hk and hasnt been out of my house for over a month now, the government is definitely trying to limit the number of exposures with breaks for all schools for a long period of time..
and the virus is spreading really quick everday
around 50-60 people get infected now in hk with 3-5 dying everday
well its basically all the goddamn hk government's fault, they took care of the problem far too late and the numbers of infections just rise and rise
i was gonna study in canada next year... the chances are now very slim :mad:

[evil zach]

Isn't Hong Kong a part of china, making the Hong Kong government the chinese government?
any way, where in canda were you goint to study?

[Sensesfail187]

no the chinese govermnet is different than the hk governmet.. after 97 handover, hk were given a 50 year period of political and economic ruling by themselves so it wont cause chaos and stuff in china.. you know the communism and how hk was british rule

was gonna study in alberta or toronto! well probably not toronto anymore :confused:

[evil zach]

well, if you ever domake it toronto, let me know. I live about an hour away.

[BrandNewRock05]

[NOFXdesendents5]

[WithStamin]

I'm willing to bet that ping-pong balls have killed more people in the history of Man than SARS has at this point.
