across the street from the school i was teaching at today reporters were all camped out. apparently, a student at the best all boys high school in taipei decided it'd be ok to break quarantine to attend classes at his cram school(not the school i work at though). needless to say everyone in his class is now quarantined. for a student smart enough to get into the best high school here, he seems to be pretty stupid. i haven't been able to find any reports on this in english though(found one here). then when i got home my roomates were telling me they'd heard that if you get sars they will kill your pets as a precaution. i haven't been able to find any news reports on this yet, so i'm not sure if it's true or just a rumour. i have heard of similiar things happening in beijing though.
