Anyone knows SARS started from Hotel in HongKong? |
As above Sorry, the question I wanted to ask is "which Hotel in HK reported the first case of SARS" According to the World Health Organization, "The first cases of SARS are now known to have emerged in mid-November 2002 in Guangdong Province, China. The first official report of an outbreak of atypical pneumonia in the province, said to have affected 305 persons and caused 5 deaths, was received by WHO on 11 February. Around 30% of cases were reported to occur in health care workers. Confirmation that cases were consistent with the definition of SARS was made after permission was granted, on 2 April, for a WHO team to visit the province. It didn't start there, but it did spread from there. It started in a rural village in China where lots of different animals (civets, chickens, rats...) were crammed together in cages. Someone (a doctor I think) picked up a weird disease, went to Hong Kong, where he spread the disease at a hotel. From there the disease spread to several other far east countries and even had an outbreak in Toronto. With today's modern air travel system, diseases with any length of incubation time before signs of symptoms occur, can be spread all over the world. by the time anybody knows about it, it's too late. scary huh? |
