That's terrible! 100% increase! I hope that 100+ people who were directly or indirectly affected will not have it! Imagine each affecting another 100!!!

I think Shanghai is doing a good job with the nabbing and quarrantining!

Don't worry. 100% increase is only a matter of mathmatic calculation.

6 cases as of yesterday! There are about 200 people quarrantined because of the 4 recent affected people! The last 2 couple went to the Shanghai No. 1 Department Store during May 1st holiday!

That is terrible!! I think Chinese government should make sure people in the area which by affected by SARS won't go anywhere else, especially Beijing. I just saw the news online, people who work in Beijing try to go back to there home, and spread SARS to their area. I think they should control all these people!!
by the way, there is 1 death in Shanghai!! That is getting horrible!!
