Self-portrait, Hong Kong, 23 June 2003

After eleven days with no new cases of SARS the chance of contracting the disease in Hong Kong is so abysmally low that even the symbolic value of wearing a face mask is no longer meaningful. Let us hope that the eleven people still under critical care in Hong Kong hospitals are able to survive, and that the local health authorities keep their guard up, so that I may let mine down and once again show my smiling face without fear that someone's cough or sneeze could threaten my life.

We have overcome. Well, at least in Hong Kong, anyway!

Just in case...
