The SARS epidemic of 2003 was one of the most serious public health crises of our times. The event, which lasted only a few months, is best seen as a warning shot, a wake-up call for public health professionals, security officials, economic planners, and policy makers everywhere.

SARS in China addresses the structure and impact of the epidemic and its short and medium range implications for an interconnected, globalized world. Warnings from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) made it clear that SARS may have been a prelude to bigger things. The authors of this volume focus on specific aspects of the SARS outbreak--epidemiological, political, economic, social, cultural, and moral. They analyze SARS as a form of social suffering and raise questions about the relevance of national sovereignty in the face of such global threats. Taken together, these essays demonstrate that SARS had the potential of becoming a major turning point in human history. This book forces us to ask what we have learned from SARS as we go on to face newer, and farther-reaching pandemics. The current case of the COVID-19 outbreak amplifies the urgency of this question, and illuminates the strengths and shortcomings of different national responses to such pandemics.

Luxurious looking watch for great price
The watch is simple yet, it looks expensive. The material of the watchband is high quality and holds its shape well.

Stunning automatic watch — looks way more expensive than it is
Color: All Gold, Color: All Gold
I bought this OLEVS automatic as a gift for my husband and he was thrilled. The gold-tone finish is rich and consistent, the open-heart dial showing the movement is a beautiful touch, and the day/week sub-dials work smoothly. The caseback shows the automatic movement clearly — you can see the rotor spinning with every wrist movement. It feels comfortable and the bracelet is solid. For the price, this is an outstanding piece. He gets compliments every time he wears it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
