China is still sticking to its story that the epidemic is over in Guangdong. I find that not easy to believe. Has anyone here a private source in that area?

I agree, the Guangdong spread is not over. However, they may have ruled that such patients will not be seen or treated...I too hope for an update from the area...

Based on the detailed analysis of the 65 cases so far, the evidence is SARS is transmitted only when a patient develops the symptoms of the illness, the ministry said, pointing out the incubation period runs three-to-seven days, though it could be up to 10 days.

Epidemiological tracking of the outbreak shows Singapore's initial three cases resulted in 21 primary contacts developing probable SARS. This latter group of patients in turn has infected 41 more cases of probable SARS.

The health ministry has announced a set of new measures to help contain the spread of SARS.
It will be invoking the Infectious Diseases Act to isolate all contacts who have been exposed to infected SARS patients.

China is sticking to it's BS story and reports are all over the map about cases, two in Beijing for sure, others are just too uncertain to list. One way or another we must get into China and prove or disprove our fears...
