I heard that SARS is no more deadly than your common flu. The only reason it is a big deal is because someone wants it to be. Why is it that it gets
more attention than it probably should???
Well that is a very hard question to answer. For only those that feel this is as important can tell us that. Yet I haven't heard anyone give me a
viable exuse for this uproar. Has anyone else???
"Be scared...but don't be very scared" is the obvious advice. It's nasty; it's been exaggerated by a combination of the media and Chinese
bureaucracy - in reality the situation in China now is that the measures are stricter than ever; but the disease is pretty much history!
Ch�teau Estragon is now the only place of its kind left open in this city - and that's largely because I've spent around an hour every day of the
week for the past two months following every bureaucratic rule to the last letter.
When SARS was really worrying -end of last year, there were no precautions at all: it didn't exist!
