San Francisco Chronicle:

Among the outfits, books and baby supplies Iris Moy received at her baby shower last month was a box of surgical face masks.

Moy of Oakland is adopting a baby girl from China, where at least 4,125 people have contracted the disease known as SARS, and 197 have died. Her friends and family have been expressing grave concerns about her trip there later this month.
