The real war, Iraq a 'sideshow'?: <<SARS update 3/21/03 10:01 AM ET Paul Kedrosky The SARS outbreak marches on and remains very worrisome in its implications for travel, tourism, and the broader economy. While, as has been reported many times, the underlying agent is likely from the paramyxoviridae family, treatments remain elusive and an increasing number of patients world-wide are in critical condition. In terms of numbers: as of March 18 there were 219 cases worldwide, but that is now up to 306 cases, including ten deaths. Deaths are likely to increase soon, with more than thirty infectees world-wide in critical condition. On the U.S. front, there are 11 cases here, six of which are in California, and one of which yesterday caused an Albuquerque hospital to send much of its staff home for fear of infection. At the epicenter in Hong Kong, schools have begun closing as the infection moves from health-care workers to children as young as two. Staffs in some hospitals are near panic, with the senior nurse at one Hong Kong hospital resigning yesterday.>> DAK
