VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: Âà¸ü¤¤¤jÂå¾Ç°|µo©ñ¦³Ãö«D¨å«¬ªÍª¢ªº®ø®§ Author: ¤½¥J¨Ð [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 11:02:48 03/25/03 Tue A message from Medi Dept of CUHK: Yes. There are many "rumours", "news stories". But most importantly, the "facts" need to be disseminated properly: 1. There are likely to be infected people in the community (people who knowingly / unknowingly contacted patients when precautions were not taken). They should be identified as soon as possible and admitted to facilities with ability to treat them (ie major public hospitals). We have family members infected because people with clear symptoms stayed home. 2. The symptoms are fever¡]µo¿N¡^, shiver¡]Ÿ§Ý¡^, muscle aches¡]¦Ù¦×¯kµh¡^, with fever NOT responding to antibiotics¡]§Ü¥Í¯À¡^. Other respiratory symptoms are not specific. 3. N95 or surgical masks should be worn in high risk areas, like hospitals, when contacting patients(this is what we all do in public hospitals). Hands must be washed thoroughly after contacts. 4. The early cases in PWH (Prince of Wales Hospital) are serious since treatment was started late, but the later cases are mostly doing well. And now with the virus identified by our virologists in CUHK and more sensitive tests being developed and verified, there are discussions on the safe time for some treated patients to be discharged (please be assured that we will not discharge ANYONE until we are very confident that they are OK). 5. At this time there is NO evidence that ANY prophylactic¡]¹w¨¾©Êªº¡^ drugs¡]ÃĪ«¡^ have any effect. I'm happy for you to send these messages to your friends, but I will not be available to answer individual enquiries. They can call the government and HA (Hospital Authority) hotlines.
