I made several trips to Beijing in 2004 and recall the SARS concern seemed less than Corona, maybe due to the lack of internet. The hotel had CNN but that was a few minutes each day. I hope the onset of spring will put an end to this threat. Kio tsukete Sensei-sama. I took this photo in the hotel elevator. Don't know if they actually did though.

Two of my favorites: "The Selfish Gene" and "Guns, Germs, and Steel".

Huckleberry of Yore replied to Voluntary Blurry Vision's topic in Anatomy, Physiology and NeuroscienceNot sure if this is related, but I can do the opposite. Through a muscular action I can't describe exactly, I can improve focus, but 1) can only do it with one eye open, and 2) the image appears to shrink in terms of my perception. A couple years ago, I exercised this ability frequently. Last year my contact lens prescription changed so that I needed weaker correction; I'm not sure if it's related or not.
