SARS
Start:  Thursday, May 22, 2003  9:00 AM
End:  Thursday, May 22, 2003  10:30 AM
Location:  Wohlstetter Conference Center, Twelfth Floor, AEI
1150 Seventeenth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036
Directions to AEI

The SARS epidemic is literally suffocating Asia. Surgical masks and fear are further stifling Hong Kong's once-booming economy. Tourism has come to a halt, causing airline industries to lose millions a day. And riots in China are revealing that the virus is affecting more than the markets.

China is in the spotlight, but will all the attention benefit the country's public health system? Will SARS lead to a more transparent China? What does China's method of handling SARS reveal about the new leaders? Do politics interfere with international health and safety? What should be done to ensure international health standards? Please join AEI for a comprehensive discussion on the SARS epidemic.
