China threatens execution for those who spread SARS
China vows execution for those knowingly spreading SARS and causing death or serious injury as authorities push quarantine measures. Mainland cases fall to 52 with four new deaths to 271, while Taiwan reports its largest daily jump and seals off hospital wards. Global aviation losses top 10 billion and tourism job losses rise as SARS spreads, with over 7,600 infections worldwide. A Beijing doctor’s arrest sparks debate over responsibility amid the outbreak.
