SARS: The Outbreak (2003)
SARS: The Outbreak (2003): Hong Kong is in a state of lockdown. It retraces the path taken by the SARS coronoavirus, from Kowloon's Metropole Hotel to the apartments of the Amoy Gardens living complex.

"One should be extremely careful, as nobody can be certain whether somebody carries the virus", says Prof. Leung, who treated the first SARS patients in Hong Kong's Prince of Wales Hospital. The surrounding streets, normally buzzing, are eerily quiet, with schools closed and inhabitants interned to contain the outbreak. What started with one sick hotel guest has spread to thousands.

As Hong Kong lifts its long-standing mask mandate taking a further step back from restrictions imposed during the Covid-19 pandemic, we look back at another dangerous outbreak the city faced about 20 years ago. The severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars) gripped the city for three intense months from February 21, 2003. Caused by a novel coronavirus, the disease claimed the lives of 299 Hongkongers, including eight medical staff, and infected 1,755 people. The episode left an indelible mark on the city, with fallout that continued to reverberate 16 years later when Covid-19 emerged.

How the coronavirus compares to the SARS outbreak
CNBC's "Closing Bell" team discusses the coronavirus with Dr. Ian Lipkin, Columbia University professor and director of the Center for Infection and Immunity at the university's Mailman School of Public Health.
Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb told CNBC on Friday the fast-spreading coronavirus outbreak in China is likely more contagious but less severe than the SARS epidemic that rattled markets in 2003 and slowed global economic growth.
“We probably will have some isolated outbreaks [of coronavirus in the U.S.], but that doesn’t mean it’ll translate to an epidemic,” said Gottlieb, a physician, health advocate and Pfizer board member. He left the Food and Drug Administration in April.
The total number of coronavirus cases in China rose to over 900, with 26 deaths. The flu-like vir...

NOTE: This documentary originally aired November 18, 2003
On November 23, 2002, officials with the World Health Organization attended an influenza conference in Beijing. And so began the story of the WHO and SARS – three crucial months before the disease was unleashed on the world. Disclosure takes a closer look at opportunities missed by the WHO.
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
How did the word first get out about SARS? What role did the WHO play? They could have issued a global alert. They could have warned the rest of the world to screen travellers coming from Guangdong Province. But they didn’t. In the end, the WHO fell back on protocol.
Almost as quickly as the virus spread, the demand for answers grew. It was becoming clear the disease had been festering for months in southern China. Why had there been no warnings, no alerts? How was the virus allowed to escape to Hong Kong and from there to so many places around the world?
A steadfast and determined World Health Organization, fighting off a mysterious and deadly disease, all in the face of enormous Chinese secrecy … That’s the image the WHO has worked hard to cultivate. But take a closer look at the period before the SARS crisis and a very different picture images. The fact is, China and the WHO have had a close working relationship for years.

How the coronavirus compares to the SARS outbreak

CNBC's "Closing Bell" team discusses the coronavirus with Dr. Ian Lipkin, Columbia University professor and director of the Center for Infection and Immunity at the university's Mailman School of Public Health.
Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb told CNBC on Friday the fast-spreading coronavirus outbreak in China is likely more contagious but less severe than the SARS epidemic that rattled markets in 2003 and slowed global economic growth.
“We probably will have some isolated outbreaks [of coronavirus in the U.S.], but that doesn’t mean it’ll translate to an epidemic,” said Gottlieb, a physician, health advocate and Pfizer board member. He left the Food and Drug Administration in April.
The total number of coronavirus cases in China rose to over 900, with 26 deaths. The flu-like virus, which was first identified less than a month ago in the Chinese city of Wuhan in Hubei province, has also infected at least 15 people around the world, mostly in Asia. The U.S. reported one case on Tuesday, a Snohomish County, Washington, resident who was returning from China.
Gottlieb told CNBC that in comparison with SARS, this appears to be more contagious and less severe.
“But the question is, has it achieved sort of that golden point where it’s contagious enough to spread rapidly but still severe enough to cause a lot of harm?” he said a “Squawk Box” interview. “We don’t know that yet.”
Gottlieb said there could be thousands of mild cases that will likely go undiagnosed and clear up on their own.
Physicians have compared coronavirus to the 2003 outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome, which had a short incubation period of two to seven days. At the time, World Health Organization officials said it was less infectious than the flu. While there were just eight confirmed cases in the U.S., it infected 8,098 people worldwide and killed 774.
SARS, however, didn’t spread as fast in its first few weeks as the coronavirus, according to WHO data. It took almost two months for SARS to spread to 456 people. By comparison, the 2019 coronavirus has already infected more than 900 people in less than a month.
Some experts have also said that higher stats could be due to health officials learning from the SARS outbreak and can now confirm cases much more quickly.
National Institutes of Health disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci told CNBC earlier Friday that China is “doing much better this time” than with SARS.
“From the feedback we’re getting, in a real time basis, it’s an enormous difference, in a positive way,” said the director of the NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
The fast-spreading infection prompted local authorities to quarantine several major cities and cancel Lunar New Year’s events. More than a dozen Chinese cities, impacting more than 30 million people, were placed on lockdown.
Several companies, including Walt Disney’s Shanghai Disney, are suspending operations until further notice to prevent the outbreak from spreading. McDonald’s suspended business in five cities in Hubei province.
Fauci said there’s still much to be learned about the outbreak.
“We don’t have definitive information now about shedding a virus and we’re going to get that information pretty soon as these patients are starting to be studied,” he said. “But if they were shedding the virus before showing symptoms, it would not be surprising.”

National Institutes of Health disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci told CNBC earlier Friday that China is “doing much better this time” than with SARS.
“From the feedback we’re getting, in a real time basis, it’s an enormous difference, in a positive way,” said the director of the NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
The fast-spreading infection prompted local authorities to quarantine several major cities and cancel Lunar New Year’s events. More than a dozen Chinese cities, impacting more than 30 million people, were placed on lockdown.
Several companies, including Walt Disney’s Shanghai Disney, are suspending operations until further notice to prevent the outbreak from spreading. McDonald’s suspended business in five cities in Hubei province.
Fauci said there’s still much to be learned about the outbreak.
“We don’t have definitive information now about shedding a virus and we’re going to get that information pretty soon as these patients are starting to be studied,” he said. “But if they were shedding the virus before showing symptoms, it would not be surprising.”

World Health Organization officials attended an influenza conference in Beijing on Nov. 23, 2002, three months before SARS was unleashed on the world.
