intensityx Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 Hopefully they will get it under control before it spreads any more than it already has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistical Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 :( I hope as well it gets under control. Neither antibiotics nor antiviral medications -- the standard weapons against pneumonia -- have proven effective, WHO spokesman Dick Thompson said. Grr... maybe something will be proven effective SOON. I'm not too worried about it myself, but, I can't say that I am not scared... It travels like the flu and such. And it already is appearing in other countries including Canada... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypercube Posted March 16, 2003 Author Share Posted March 16, 2003 I personally am amazed at how Hong Kong seems to the epidemic explosion point for these types of diseases, like H5N1. It is especially interesting on how all this seems to be originating from China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunkenMaster Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 This is one reason why its important to WASH YOUR HANDS. I'm not saying this is how its spread, but before eating food and after using the washroom wash the hands people. So many contagious diseases are spread w/o washing. I'm wondering though if the airlines are "decontaminating" the airplanes thoroughly after the flight. Especially the area where people sat should be cleaned w/ a Windex since it contains ammonium.
