What brain cells? Little known fact but the organic solvents used in Lacquer paints are of the same chemical family as nerve agents like sarin. Organophosphates. Bad stuff. I've already noticed some side effects from 10+ years of exposure. I now use latex gloves any time I have to work with lacquer thinner. It is absorbed into the blood stream through skin. All you kids out there, be careful with this stuff!

Since I live in HK, I think it would be better for me to state the situation in HK. Yes, the disease can be transfer by direct contact. Like shaking hands. So everyone is adviced not to touch the nose, eyes and month before washing hands. And they already found the medicine for this disease. So the situation is under control.

So don't need to worry. I am totally FINE and healthy.


Don't worry email can carry virus.


Stay healthy.

yes, i do, but im saying, that mos tpeople her ein the USA, or at least in my area, are pisssed cuz unemployment has gone from 1 % to 11% in 6 months cuz all the jobs go to china, so they sya shit like, all the jobs goen to hong kong, or tokio (japan) or other asian, not nessecarily china towns.

OK?

Pls be careful with your speech. although Hong Kong is under control by China, we are totally independent. And we face jobless here as well, because all the factories shifted to china, and employers employ china people because of much cheaper salary.

PLEASE APOLOGIZE !!!

......hong kong people are so innocent. If China did not hide the news of outbreak of first SARS last November, SARS will not spread around the world so quick. And it is because most of the china people have to take flight VIA hongkong to worldwide , so everyone is saying the virus is spread from Hong Kong. WTF

They do it out of ignorance! Just by being on this board, you should be able to recognize the differences in location of our Asian friends! Take up geography and be more respectful of where people are from! You may learn something useful!

thanks Tonio......

I am really pissed off with someone here not respecting hong kong people. They just dont know the situation, and I am not assuming he is a geography, but better take out your map and history book ( I dont think you know HK had been governed by British people from the years of 1898 to 1997 :o ) before insulting a nation/ country here.

And better seach on google to see what is the governing body here in hong kong. After the handover to China from British after year of 1997, we are named "Hong Kong Special Administrative Region". In other words, just like one of the province of china but have INDEPENDENT GOVERNMENT(similar as US or canada).

I think we can safely say that SARs came from China in the first place and that countries like Hongkong, Singapore and those infected are neither to be blame for it.

Tactfully, I put it down to the government of the various countries who have either not done or done whatever they could in the first place to prevent it from spreading.

That said, you have many options to take if you wanna play it safe and most of them have been mentioned before.
Just need to re-adjust your life a little.
No point blaming anyone, important thing is to be responsible and take personal hygiene matters more seriously.

On a side note, I take the MRT train sometimes and I try to avoid the peak hours and leave for home later.
Leaving for office is tougher. Either wake up early or grab a cab.

Funny thing is, I rarely hear or havent heard anyone coughing in the public transports I take...hehe

Probably cos they are afraid people will give them 'hey you got SARS' look.

Did you know that here on AF we have a function called "Ignore list" and since I'm using this, reading the posts has become a lot more comfortable. The funny thing is, most of the time when people get upset it's because of the people on my ignore list.

I think this thread has gone on for long enough now. Aside from the fact that this is completely off topic, i can see it getting ugly if this continues.
