The viral infection that is affecting Hong Kong and China has been ruled out to be SARS. However, health officials still don’t know what it is. Best guess is that it’s either a new type of infection or something that has mutated since the last time it visited the area.

Now, other places are reporting people coming down with this new viral infection. But with only a small number of people that are confirmed having it (or suspected of it) daily life goes on in Hong Kong.

There were a few protests over the past weekend and police have made their usual arrests saying people were off the protest route. I suppose it’s good that the protesters wear masks to protect their identity and now their health. But even health fears don’t dampen their protests for now.
