Question ID: 197872
Where can I find an up-to-date timeseries of confirmed atypical
pneumonia infections,hospital discharges and deaths in Hong Kong?

http://www.info.gov.hk/dh/diseases/ap/eng/infected.htm  Is the
definitive source, but they don't have a timeseries.

http://www.sosick.org/ used to track numbers, but they stopped a while
ago.

Hi there,

The Hong Kong Hospital Authority has the figures up until April 18
http://www.ha.org.hk/hesd/nsapi/drivernsapi20.so?MIval=ha_visitor_index&intro=ha%5fbrowse%5fact%26act%3dPSS

....and a graph which is up-to-date!
http://www.ha.org.hk/sars/stat/daily_sars_figures_based_on_press_release.gif

WHO have archived their updates on the crisis. It doesn't have the
same level of detail you require, but otherwise is quite good:
http://www.who.int/csr/sarsarchive/en/

Google's cache has the April 20 version of the HK Govt page:
http://216.239.33.100/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=cache:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.info.gov.hk%2Fdh%2Fdiseases%2Fap%2Feng%2Finfected.htm


Search strategy -  I followed the links at the bottom of:
http://www.info.gov.hk/dh/ap.htm


Best wishes,
