The ones who try to follow up SARS events are welcome in this thread. Please, post here your ideas on the subj and all you were able to get to know about this.
I will start with the news from the country that was apparently hit by the infection - Ukraine.
I was able to get to know that Ukrainian authorities have found a new way to cope with the pandemic. They merely load up the mortal remains of infected birds and take 'em out to neutral waters of the Black Sea. The birds are mainly gathered from Ukrainian shore - they fly in by villas of noble Ukrainians who started to threaten authorities with legal proceedings unless their private area is cleared up and disinfected.
According to Center for Infectious Disease Research, first H5N1 morbid events were reported in Bulgaria and Turkey, now it is not improbable that the virus will soon appear in Greece and Cyprus as the current is stronger in the open sea, therefore there is a high probability that SARS will penetrate into the Mediterranean Sea as well.
Yet, even though it doesn't happen, sword of Damocles has been lifted against Europe. It's a well known fact that Bulgaria is a favorite place of resort of many German tourists. However, Bulgarian authorities conceal SARS morbid events in this country as they do not wish to lose income from tourism industry because of the bird flu. Now there is one more thing. As soon as German tourists come home from abroad, many of them go to a doctor about some illness. Will you guess the diagnosis?...
OK, I will be happy to hear from you here.
