Jay, I have put together my best guess as to how the current SARS outbreak began. Unfortunately, the analysis is entitled "SARS Lessons Learned - NOT" discuss.agonist.org

I don't know anything about disease diagnostics, except that some the clinical testing Equipment biz is a razor blade business- sell the machine, then get a continuing income stream selling reagents & supplies. Worry is alternate reagent suppliers. Like buying inkject cartirges.

Jay, Bon Voyage! Re: I feel strange, as if I am going to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, you know, as if I am going to Iraq. Hmm, you'd definitely notice the difference. Your chances of getting kidnapped in Beijing would have to be orders of magnitude less in Beijing than in, say, Fallujah or Najaf.

I will travel to Beijing tomorrow and return on Friday. I will be hanging out with client and client's potential partner, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. We will be talking disease diagnostic type of stuff Jay, I trust this is not where you went +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ China Warns Foreign Lab Visitors of SARS Risk Wed Apr 28, 2004 09:53 PM ET BEIJING (Reuters) - China has notified foreign visitors to a disease control laboratory in the capital, Beijing, that it could be the source of the most recent outbreak of SARS, state media said on Thursday. Days before hundreds of millions of people set off around the country for the week-long May Day holiday, World Health Organization experts have fanned out across the city where 700 people have been isolated for observation. They have also traveled to the impoverished eastern province of Anhui, where one diagnosed case and one suspected case have been found, Xinhua news agency said. A laboratory leak led to the first death from SARS after last year's outbreak killed nearly 800 people worldwide. A total of two diagnosed and seven suspected SARS cases have been found in eastern Anhui and in Beijing. The Health Ministry said 18 people from countries including Australia, Russia, South Korea and Japan had visited the Institute of Virology of the Chinese Center for Disease Prevention and Control in Beijing. "The institute is where one of the diagnosed patients and one of the suspected ARS patients worked," the China Daily said. "The ministry has informed visitors, countries concerned and the WHO of relevant information and no abnormal problems have been reported." China has won praise for its SARS surveillance, reporting and cooperation since a coverup of last year's outbreak that led to the deaths of nearly 800 people worldwide. "A joint expert team from the WHO and the Chinese Ministry of Public Health is expected to visit the places and laboratory where the diagnosed SARS patient used to work," Xinhua said. reuters.com
