Latest SARS stats

SARS continues to spread, now having been reported in 23 countries. Oddly, the only deaths from SARS outside of Asia have been in Canada.

The situation in China is still somewhat uncertain:

While Beijing authorities appear to have contained transmission in some hospitals, they have not yet granted WHO experts permission to visit military hospitals, which have been the focus of numerous rumours. WHO staff in Beijing have expressed particular concern about the official response to rumours and the apparent absence of rigorous contact tracing.

WHO

Total cases: 3169 (an increase of 213 since previous day)
