OK, apparently there has been a huge scientific breakthrough. (sarcasm)

50 people apparently got better yesterday.

Either they are FOS or they are letting anyone who coughs for less than 30 minutes at a stretch out of the hospital to free up beds.

I know, I know cynical to the end.

From what we've heard about the weakened condition of those who have gone through the disease, releasing them at the weekend might be the best time. Give the folks at home a couple of days to help them, before returning to work on Monday.

Whatever the case, this is the first drop in the number hospitalized. perhaps Hong Kong is bringing it under control.

I just spent 20 minutes on Google and could not find a single article commenting on the 50 people released from the hospital in Hong Kong today.

Yesterday had the first article I have seen from a SARS survivors perspective. You would think reporters would be swarming all over the people released. LOTS of human interest potential.

So why so little info/articles?

Inquiring minds (and information junkies) want to know...
