SARS update Paul Kedrosky

The SARS story marches on, with it now being virtually impossible to get away
from musings about the economic consequences, whether from tourism, travel, or
via the electronics industry supply chain.

Latest musings from China is that SARS is co-infective with chlamydia, which is as
bizarre as it sounds. More importantly, perhaps, is that correlation is not evidenced
in U.S. patients.

Getting many emails from folks in the brokerage industry where they have
reorganized trading floors, or are treating Canadians like pariahs (and not just
because Canada is wobbly on the war). Also hearing from unhappy people at tech
firms where the standing rule seems to be to downplay SARS' severity in direct
correlation with SE Asian business as percentage of revenue.

Here are the April 4th cumulative figures for deaths and cases (as always, click on
the figure for a larger version):
