SARS situation in Beijing To clarify any confusion: I do not have SARS. Glad that is cleared up. The SARS situation sounds worse outside of China that it really is. I am not sure what international media is reporting at this time (no foreign tv yet for me) but it is certainly much better than it was a few weeks ago. Only a few people wear masks - maybe 20% of people on the streets. Traffic on the roads still isn’t what it should be, but it is getting better (or worse?!) every day. The current situation still makes it easier to take public transportation, that is for sure - the buses are not as crowded, and almost no one takes the subway. China reported only 4 more cases yesterday.
