<<a chlamydia-like agent>>

That's odd. If I recall correctly, Chlamydia is a basically bacterial STD which can be fully cured with antibiotics. I'm pretty dubious about this report.

CDC experts and local Guangdong scientists are co-operating with a team of WHO experts in Guangdong to seek for patterns of transmission, clinical profiles, and the suspected causative agent of SARS.


Hi, Pearly. China has made a hash of this whole issue, and sat on information about it. I would not believe anything on this until WHO reports it from their HQ.
