Things are stabilizing now with SARS. I live near Toronto whcih was named as a "travel advisory" zone by W.H.O., but now (actually all along) averything is back to normal. Mainland China, it would seem, left it too late and are overwhelmed now. The latest info I've heard is that like a "corona" virus that sruck in 1918 it died down in the summer and then reappeared again in the Fall. We'll have to keep our fingers crossed!...Tagger
