my gf's friend to be exact...
she and her parents has sars, and the father is in icu!
so scary...
i hope they can will be better soon...

all my hk friends (including my gf too) are cancelling
their trip back to hk for the summer.
it's so sad watching them living in fear for their friends and
family, and themselves.

where's the world coming to?
sigh...

Must be in Asia, according to today's NY Times article there are no official deaths related to SARS in the US. There are 115 cases that are suspected and are currently being investigated for the virus.

It is truly a very scary thing. I caught something on the news this morning where they were saying a man had infected about 20 people in hk who were heading back to America. Hopefully a vaccine will come soon.
