Abstract
The paper explains that the SARS crisis was successfully managed through an international cooperative effort, and the genetic sequence of the Coronavirus was finally mapped out, paving way for creating more specific assays for detection and for developing effective counter drugs. The author points out that the typical symptoms for the SARS disease include a rise in temperature (above 38 degrees); sore throat; breathing difficulty, which becomes progressively acute; myalgia or muscle pain; sputum formation; a considerable drop in blood platelets; and lymphopenia; all are symptoms that manifest within the first two weeks of the onset of the infection. The paper relates that treatment methods continue to be refined, specific pharmacological agents are being developed, and a quest for a SARS vaccine continues.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"SARS is an acute infectious respiratory disease with all the symptoms of atypical pneumonia like fever, breathlessness that caused severe casualties in a short period of time. The first instance of SARS infection was reported in November 2002 in the Guangdong province of china. The SARS epidemic created a panic worldover and the World Health Organization issued a global alert on March 12th 2003 about the rapid spread of symptoms of atypical pneumonia. Symptoms of atypical pneumonia were reported in China and Hong Kong in February and March of 2003 and SARS created panic at the global level with 774 deaths and more than 8000 infected people. China, Taipei, Canada and Hong Kong suffered the most from the epidemic while sporadic SARS infections were found in many European nations and North America. Hundreds of people exhibiting symptoms were quarantined and treated for the complications until the SARS outbreak was fully contained. In July 2003 China officially announced the successful treatment of the last 12 cases of SARS."

Abstract
This paper discusses a number of issues regarding the epidemic S.A.R.S. These include the question of the genesis and origins of the virus and the consequences, in both the short and long terms, of SARS as one of a number of previously unknown viral infections affecting world health. This paper also looks at the background, causes, symptoms and effects of the disease. One of the central points in this paper is that S.A.R.S. should not be seen as an isolated event. The writer shows how the wide ranging effects and implications of the epidemic are still being studied and debated today.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The spread of the virus is through close person-to-person contact. Transmission through the spread of respiratory droplets through actions such as sneezing and coughing is common. The virus that causes SARS is thought to be transmitted most readily by respiratory droplets (droplet spread) produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Furthermore, it is also suspect by medical experts that SARS can be spread through airborne infection. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported that ...SARS appears to be spread by close person-to-person contact. Potential ways include touching the skin of other people or objects that are contaminated with infectious droplets and then touching the eyes, nose, or mouth. Or the virus can be transmitted when someone who is sick with SARS coughs or sneezes droplets into the air and someone else breathes them in. It's also possible that SARS can be spread more broadly through the air, or by other ways that are currently unknown."

Abstract
This paper explores primarily the economic affect of the SARS disease on the tourism industry in Southeast Asia. The paper argues that the magnitude of the affect SARS had on the tourism industry is attributable to three factors: the nature of the virus, the reaction by World Health Organization officials and finally, the inadequacy in which local governments (specifically the Chinese) handled the epidemic. Finally, the paper touches on the affects SARS has had on the tourism industry thus far, and its future implications.
From the Paper
"Similar to other coronaviruses, SARS was spread primarily by close contact (particularly involving breathing) between individuals (1). Scientists have not eliminated the possibility that the virus can be spread in other ways, such as contact with an infected object or bodily fluids (1). Scientists studying a May outbreak in Hong Kong admit there may be other means of spreading the virus other than close contact."

Abstract
This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) coronavirus and an analysis of the pathogen?s cellular composition. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"Severe acute respiratory syndrome (or ?SARS?) is a highly contagious respiratory illness that is characterized by a persistent fever, headache, and bodily discomfort, followed by a dry cough that may progress to great difficulty in breathing. According to one source, SARS first appeared in November 2002 in Guangdong province, China, where it was first diagnosed as an atypical pneumonia. According to Bi (2003), ?SARS originated in China's Guangdong province last November, rapidly becoming widespread. By 20 May, the deadly disease had infected 6,966 people and caused 557 deaths in China (including Hong Kong but excluding Taiwan)? (p. 16). By that point in time, SARS had infected about 7,864 people around the world and 643 had died from it (Bi, 2003)."

Abstract
This paper examines the latest international outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), which was initially described as a strange and mysterious lung disease that killed a handful of people in China. It analyzes how it was handled and how it could have potentially been the work of bio-terrorists. It looks at how the nations of the world worked together to contain the outbreak in the same manner that they would have to do in the event that a bio-attack were launched on any nation.
From the Paper
"Using SARS as a model for handling a bio-terrorist attack one can easily see the positive and negative aspects of the way it was spread and contained. One of the first mistakes that were made was the allowance of travel when the virus was first discovered. In the future if there is any hint of possible bio-terrorist attacks it will be essential to stop all travel to or from the area in question. This was only done after the virus began to spread outside of Asia and show itself in other nations.
Something that was done well was the containment efforts. Once it was discovered in Canada and other nations there were immediate efforts to quarantine anyone with symptoms and to examine them immediately to determine if they in fact had SARS."

Abstract
This paper presents a discussion about SARS with a focus on the impact it is having in Toronto, Canada. The writer explores what the epidemic is about and what Toronto officials are doing to combat and contain it.
From the Paper
"Around the world the medical community is focusing on a new virus called SARS. When SARS first began to surface the concentration was in China. Travelers to and from there were cautioned to be careful and there were many quarantines occurring throughout the area. In more recent history however the focus has moved from China to Toronto as the virus has made the leap and is now in North America. While America watches its northward neighbor with a watchful eye Toronto scrambles to contain and eradicate its existence among its residents."

From the Paper
"The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (S.A.R.S.) swept through Asia in wreaking human devastation in its wake and affecting the lives of millions of people. As the S.A.R.S. epidemic fades into memory in the West, Asian countries continue to grapple with its legacy. Nowhere is this fact truer than in China, whose initial attempts to conceal the epidemic may well have contributed to its far-flung reach. The government's inability to maintain the cover-up, it's very public purge of officials and the subsequent opening of the media that occurred were ... "

From the Paper
"A city in fear is no city at all. In November 2002 the disease known as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) came to Toronto by way of China and set in motion a global fear of an epidemic. There was no cure, no background knowledge, and no available treatment. SARS was a sudden onset respiratory illness that scientists are still working on not only reliable testing for, but also a cure. This paper will discuss the rise and fall of SARS and its effects on the world community, and its impact on our lives in the greater Toronto Area. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) is a contagious and fatal form of pneumonia that originated in China in 2002 and quickly spread across the globe. When originally contracted no available treatments offered any relief to the sever symptoms that took over a victim. The swift worldwide spread of the disease combined with its fatal nature prompted the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) to issue a worldwide alert, designating SARS as a world wide health threat, a virtual modern plague. This onset of fear motivated governments to establish never before seen procedures for infection control to prevent an epidemic. Despite these procedures approximately 8,000 cases of SARS were reported and caused 800 deaths in 32 countries."

Abstract
SARS has known to have a negative effect on the worldwide economies. This paper discusses these effects, among them are reduction in GDP, the decrease in inflation rate, increase in unemployment and the effects on the current account balance.
From the Paper
"Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) emerged in southern China by the end of 2002. Failing to stop this syndrome from spreading, SARS had since then become a worldwide epidemic. Research has shown that SARS spreads by direct human contact or contact with infectious material (Thurow 2003). This results the World Health Organization to issue an advisory against non-essential travel to affected countries especially Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong and China. It said that, this syndrome has a potential to rival the Black Death in the Middle Ages."

From the Paper
"Chan has contributed much to an understanding of how the political climate in Hong Kong has devolved into a state of ideological divide where even employee unions have been co-opted by both sides of the political debate, those for more extensive economic and political integration with the Mainland and those for more democratic structures. As the author reveals, the result is there is less representation by unions for socio-economic advances that might actually benefit the individuals that they are supposed to represent as well as the population as a whole."
