Exclamation SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome)

I am not sure if you folks have heard of the SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) that has been going around a few countries. And sadly to say, I am from Singapore one of the few countries(HongKong, Canada, Taiwan and China) that has been badly affected by the virus that is more or less airborne. Schools from the elementary level right to colleges had been closed few days ago to prevent infected individuals from passing the virus on to their classmates. Today (Tuesday 1st April 2003), my school which is another form of educational institute(Polytechinic) has been anounced closed till next monday.
I am worried about the SARS Virus as it is lethal if not discovered and cured in the early stage. I hope me, my family and friends will be alright throughout this whole ordeal as I fear for their lives at hand.
I wish those people didn't bring this virus from Hongkong, it has tarnised Singapore's image by making a once famous tourist attraction to a hotzone and a "Virus" filled city.
Do keep me and my families in your prayers, Thanks folks it means alot to me.

While there are means to treat the symptoms, at this time there is no cure for the disease.

I pray and hope you and yours will be ok +Black Cat§+ and that they'll find a cure for this damned virus asap. It's in Canada now like you say and only about a province away from where I'm living.

ßlack Cat§: Honey, you are always in my prayers, regardless whether there is death and disease roaming near you...every day pray to you for your well being, your soundness of health, in appreciation for putting you in my life. Stay away from them...don't get infected please....we still have little cat§ and GSD's to make

Doubel D: I hope you don't get infected as well, DD. You're too cool a dude to be taken by a stupid disease. Like I told cat§ just be away from the infected ones...but now I realize it may not be enough....*sigh*

------------------
I stalk, close in from above
Silent wings will test your faith
Death will never hear me pass
Pray for sin a shattered faith
Down on your knees, you're screaming out to die...

I just thank heavens I am with my family cos 1 year ago, I was suppose to go to University of ALberta to study(which means I will be in my second year now if I did got in) but I didn't cos of some financial crisis. And I used to be studying in a college in Ontario as well as Vancouver before I graduated.
Can't imagine this going on, when I am all alone overseas.

Pretty freaky stuff, nature is trying to send us a message but I don't think many will listen. Not until she sends something that'll whipe us all out anyway...

I am not sure about it but most likely it is the one that killed two Americans. Thanks for all your well wishes folks and I really hope nature will not wipe us off the face of this earth.

I've heard they were using blood from survivors in Hong Kong to treat patients. That carries a pile of it's own risks.

This SARS thing is some scary shit, but the war with Iraq eclipses it for some reason.
