SARS insanity strikes where it may or may not hurt

Jimmy Weasel - Friday, July 11, 2003 - 16:41:38 - print it raw

Experts in the field of finance now have a grasp on the damage expected to be caused by the SARS virus. Despite killing 800 people worldwide, the effect of the virus is still being felt; evidentally by businesses both large and small; seemingly glad to cite such things as reasons for poor performance.

Financial Forecasters have predicted that SARS could damage the Australian economy by up to 1 Billion Dollars. While it seems like a large amount of money, in relative terms, this is 0.13% of Australia's GDP, based on all the latest financial figures.

And somehow it would seem as though any loss or miserable performance will be gladly blamed on this frightful buzzword more often than necessary.

On that note...

Articles and all that more wordy stuff

Where in Kentucky - Mammoth Cave National Park: Monstrously, and seemingly neverending, sitting under the home ground of Colonel Sanders, the world's largest cave system. Yucatan comes nowhere close. Not even Cocklebiddy poses a threat. No comparison. Small holes looking up at a big fat long one. Sadly, with possible age and lack of food, no minotaurs to be found within the lime walls.
Homebrew Diary - Wheatbeer of misery: If what can turn a foul mood around becomes the harbinger of the foul mood, what happens next? Turn it into a learning experience. And when that learning curve makes a late break over the plate, you'd better start to swing away.
Homebrew Diary - Blackrock IPA + Hops: It doesn't take a big man to admit that he drinks. It takes a big man to get wasted and perform impromptu sermons naked from a balcony; raving upon the ravages of the insanity of stata bylaws and noisy offspring in adjoining arpartments...
