Three doctors dragged the unconscious man to a wheelchair and pushed him to an emergency room filled with similar unfortunates.

It's not surprising that due to the SARS virus, which probably jumped from pigs to humans in Guangdong province, Hong Kong is now faced with its most serious crisis since the 1967 riots. Can the city survive both a SARS pandemic and increased competition from a large number...
