From the Special Administrative Region that Brought You SARS

"Margaret Chan, a bird flu expert and former Hong Kong health director, on Wednesday [Nov 8] became the first Chinese national to run a leading United Nations agency, winning the race to head the World Health Organisation." -Financial Times, Nov 8.

No doubt Dr. Chan is an ultimate professional, a peerless public health expert, but BoI must poke fun because she is from Hong Kong/China.

You know, Hong Kong, home to the SARS hotel?

You know, China, the source of Bird Flu?

But, check this, Dr. Chan was on Bird Flu as early as 1997.




The SARS hotel has a cake shop.
Properly called the Metropole Cake Shop, actually.
