They have also lost the cykling track World Championship, which should have been held in Shanzhen in June. It will now take place in Europe.
SARS have also caused the cancellation of the World Championship in badmintom which should have beem held in Birmingham, UK - now that it a bit puzzling to me. [ 05-03-2003, 03:54 AM: Message edited by: Ar-Cunin ]

SARS is a joke. It's like Orson Welles telling you the Martians are invading.

That's about 12.3%, meaning that almost one in every eight people who've got it have died. Doesn't sound like a joke to me.

I hope the IOC won't cancel Beijing rights to host the Olympic just because of SARS.
and Djinn, people is dying because of SARS, that is not a right comment to do. |

Djinn, I don´t understand how you can call SARS a joke. You compare it to influenza which is a somewhat invalid comparison. You could compare it to the Hong Kong flu though. But is is definitely not a joke. If we should apply your comparison to other areas I could state that the Ebola hemorrhagic fever is a joke since malaria is taking a heavier toll in Africa. On topic, I heard that we probably would get this tournament. So they move it out of China because of the SARS to here, the country with most SARS cases in the west.
