"The number of reported cases of SARS in the world is doubling every 11 days. This is implied by the slope of the blue curve, using the data available on April 7, 2003. There will be 100,000 cases on about June 4, 2003. A million cases will be reached on about July 11, 2003, and ten million on about August 18, 2003. These predictions will change every day as new data changes the slope of the curves. Only world cases after March 25, 2003 are used to compute the slope, because that is when China began reporting."

This site keeps you up to date on all the paranoia.

3q2u is an acronym which if said in Chinese and Japanese sounds like "Thank you to you!" Dumb but easy to remember. More >>
