The SARS epidemic of 2003 was one of the most serious public health crises of our times. The event, which lasted only a few months, is best seen as a warning shot, a wake-up call for public health professionals, security officials, economic planners, and policy makers everywhere.

SARS in China addresses the structure and impact of the epidemic and its short and medium range implications for an interconnected, globalized world. Warnings from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) made it clear that SARS may have been a prelude to bigger things. The authors of this volume focus on specific aspects of the SARS outbreak--epidemiological, political, economic, social, cultural, and moral. They analyze SARS as a form of social suffering and raise questions about the relevance of national sovereignty in the face of such global threats. Taken together, these essays demonstrate that SARS had the potential of becoming a major turning point in human history. This book forces us to ask what we have learned from SARS as we go on to face newer, and farther-reaching pandemics. The current case of the COVID-19 outbreak amplifies the urgency of this question, and illuminates the strengths and shortcomings of different national responses to such pandemics.

wasting your money
Size: 35 x 7, Color: White-rgb
I’m very disappointed with this purchase. The shelves have a questionable finish - honestly, you can get something cheaper and much better quality at IKEA. But the biggest issue is the lighting. None of the lights work. I put in brand-new batteries and absolutely nothing happens. I wouldn’t recommend wasting your money on this product.

Lights stop working after a few usage
Size: 31 x 7, Color: Black-rgb
I had these shelves for a few months now. The shelves are great and are very easy to install. I also like that they offer different sizing, so depending what you are storing on them. They can fit a lot of items and are sturdy so you don’t have to worry about it falling. The lights were amazing at first and the main reason why I bought this product, but after a few times using them they stopped working completely and no longer connect.

Incomplete kit. Missing anchors. LED are white not yellow or amber. Shelf is dented. Had to buy double sided tape for the LEDs to stick. Strips can't hold weight of charging blocks. Not easy to install

Highly recommend
Size: 35 x 7, Color: White-rgb, Size: 35 x 7, Color: White-rgb
I absolutely love the look of this coffee and beverage station. The purple LED lighting creates a modern and inviting atmosphere, while the neatly organized syrup bottles and glassware give it a professional café-style appearance. The variety of flavored syrups offers plenty of options for customized drinks, and the clean white shelving makes everything easy to access and visually appealing. The setup feels both elegant and functional, making it perfect for serving specialty coffees, lattes, and other beverages. The decorative touch on the upper shelf adds personality and style, creating a welcoming space for customers or guests. Highly recommended for anyone looking to create a premium coffee experience! ☕✨

Fabulous!
Size: 65.6ft, Size: 65.6ft
I have wanted some strip lights for soo long! I absolutely love these! Great quality! The adhesive is very strong and keeps the lights tight against the wall. Even with bumpy paint there was no issue with it sticking. The colors are fabulous, so many to choose from. Set up is very easy. Pull off the sticky tape and press where you want the lights to go. I have had no trouble with Bluetooth connecting. I run the lights through the app and it connects easily and quickly. There is such a variety of light themes to play with and set moods. This stip can be cut. I made sure to do it right down the middle of the copper lines. I recommend turning the lights off, making the cut, and then turning the lights back on again. What is cut off will not work. I had a bit extra that I cut off and the two ends overlap a little, but it's hardly noticeable if you stare real hard. These lights are so awesome! I highly recommend. Also it is so great to be able to turn up and down the brightness!
