You think your in danger? I'm currently living in Hong Kong right now, the source of this outbreak. At least 2000 people are quarantined here and the whole population is panicking. Half of them are wearing mask and no one is going out. heh.
Well nothin to worry its not 100% fatal in most cases.

heh, zxcvnm - I'm probably the only one here who can vouch for that.

Taiwan is pretty much the same. At school today I was kind of suprised by the fact that my school's principal actually gave my wife and I masks to wear while we're teaching there.

Also, there's around 4 to 7 kids in each class who are wearing masks. oOo:

There's only been a few deaths from it in Taiwan and probably about 20 or so quarentined. But the news is making it out to be a bigger problem than "The War on Iraq" which only gets about 5 minutes worth of news coverage, compard to the SARS coverage of around 70% of the program. eek: wtf's up with that.....
