More than 2600 people are infected so far, and the number is rising rapidly. The disease spread from the China mainland, to Hong Kong and from there to Canada and the rest of the world. It causes massive respiratory problems and so far none of the traditional medicines or treatments are working against it.   WEEK 16 Apr 7th to 13th 2003
