Yiwu, they obviously are short of traditional Chinese medicine in Taiwan. I recommend non-traditional masks or otherwise fine-filtered air [or pasteurized] while they wait to import some tiger's tusk and pickled polar bear liver oil. Mqurice < SARS in Taiwan is getting really bad>

Hello YW, It appears that the different reactions by common people to hospital needs on Mainland China and Taiwan was noted by folks on both sides of the conflict equation. On the mainland, regular folks volunteered to help in the hospitals and quarantine centers (weekend resorts on outskirts of Beijing), whereas on Taiwan, doctors and nurses quit work to get away. With factories leaving Taiwan, common folks feeling vulnerable, and other folks not doing their job, it must be close to TeoTwawKi time for the island. The officialdom on the mainland must be pondering why they want to reunite with the Taiwanese:0? Meantime, my guess about SARS is that it is doing much good on the mainland, increasing governmental transparency, media daring, and healthcare budgetary purse. Basically doing for business, economy and government what June 4th 1989 did. Chugs, Jay
