The threat of SARS has, in some ways, improved living conditions for migrant construction workers in China. A National Public Radio (NPR) report on Morning Edition tells how migrant construction workers in Beijing, who live in crowded company-run dormitories and tent cities, are being watched closely for signs of sudden acute respiratory syndrome. The government is requiring construction companies to take precautions, including reducing the crowding and monitoring for fever. Some sites are under strict quarantine. The goal is to prevent a shutdown of the industry. http://discover.npr.org/features/feature.jhtml?wfId=1269017
