[Sarswatch.org] SARS Watch Org by Tim Bishop: I have to go out of town for a week, and while I will bring my computer, access to the internet and time to work on SARS Watch Org may not be available, so, depending on those factors and what the other SARS Watch Org contributors do, there may not be any more postings to SARS Watch Org until June 2cd.
