They are really overreacting here in Hong Kong. Its on the news all the time. They are forcing exchange students in Mexico to come home. (they complained about Mexicos air quality... which i find hilarious as i haven't seen the sun in a month here). Hotels are being "issued guidelines ... on measures even stricter than those adopted during SARS".(from the standard) China is boycotting American pork. Hong Kong based tours to the US are being canceled, and pharmacies are reporting 500% increase in sales of surgical masks. </p>
