SARS Update: One of the Chinese patients has died:

China today reported the first SARS death worldwide since the World Health Organization declared the disease under control globally nine months ago.

The Health Ministry said the death of a woman in the southern province of Anhui on April 19 was caused by SARS, according to a statement. She had cared for her daughter, who spread the disease after catching it while working in a virology laboratory in Beijing. The daughter is recovering.


Hopefully, they'll be able to keep it contained this time.
