SARS update The world is still underestimating the danger here, distracted by the US/UK efforts to 'liberate' Iraq. Hong Kong quarantined more than 200 people in a single apartment block by sealing the building on Monday after 92 new cases were reported there. The disease seems to be traveling vertically.... The quarantine is a bit late though, many of the families living there had already fled by the time officials showed up with tape.

Total number of infections in in Hong Kong is now more than 620.
