Another factor which will hurt air travel and kill many airlines.

Hi KJC, I am at the airport lounge, waiting for my appointment with fate and tryst with destiny, or perhaps just simply a ride to Beijing. I understand that the airport security in BJ have been stepped up for the int'l airline counters, something to do with some war, but have detected no noticeable change in Hong Kong, other than fact that there are some old folks wearing masks. My wife is organizing a concert for April 12th, and she may postpone or cancel the event due to lack of normal interest. Hong Kong retail sales and tourism revenue have wilted, and yet, the market, after a few days of following the Dow up, have barely retreated a mere 50 points out of 92xx. What next? Discovery that the world's food supply is contaminated, or that a heavenly astro body is heading our way? What would be the spin that makes it all bullish for stocks? Chugs, Jay

Most people do not realize that you DON'T have to present in Asia, or China to get SARS. the virus is in the air, and air travels. And last year, the dust storm from Beijing has travelled all the way to North America, as deep as Utah, Arizona. And not every case of those 22 found in the US occurred to the person who has travelled outside the US. And not only Airport, hotels, high-rise buildings, all use circulated air, which is the engine for this type of virus.
