| People in Shanghai talked about Guangzhou's "flu" in Feb and shrugged it off when local news said it had been under control and most info spreading had been rumors. As of today (25 Mar), only few who visit foreign websites in English know what SARS is. Most people (incl. health workers) do not know what SARS symptons are. News report on SARS is strictly forbidden. Shanghai residents continue spitting and coughing towards each other. It is so dangerous! Generally speaking there's no outbreak in Shanghai, but I believe the public should be well informed about the development of this issue. As far as I know, the only Chinese information about SARS available online is Hong Kong government's website (http://www.info.gov.hk/info/infection-c.htm), which is not blocked by local internet police. If you care about the Chinese public's health, and your own health, please tell your friend about this link, or post this link on your website. |
