* I holed up in my small home during the past week and did not get out of the building even once. One week or so ago when my company decided to scatter its workers to work from home as precautionary means against SARS, I did not believe the epidemic was as serious as was depicted on the media or justified the move of sending workers home. I thought it was just a panic without immediacy that no more than frightened everyone into mere trembles. I doubt it now. I rode a bus to my company yesterday and discovered at one glance that Beijing is no long what it was a week ago. People on the street were seen wearing gauze masks almost 8 out of 10. The first thing a mask-wearing guy did after taking a seat next to a window on a bus was slide open the window quickly with a heavy sigh of reassured relief. Maintenance staff at my office building were armed to the teeth with big white masks, horrifying light-blue uniforms looking like those used in a Japanese laboratory some 60 years ago in Northeast China. Maybe, it is a factual, real threat. Or “SARS is immediate, just around you. Take every precaution to avoid it.” My friend in Shanghai warned me over the phone yesterday. (200305011212)
