Shanghai World Financial Center Highest building in the world! Wow! The city looks modern and technologically advanced. But how about it's citizens' level of civilization? I love my city so much but I feel ashamed to be a citizen of this city.. |

Price Increase of Shanghai Metro I've been waiting for this day for so long... I wish the fare could be more expensive and there could be policemen patrolling with billy clubs (or pistols). |

So Many Typos in Shanghai Metro - Part III Anybody can understand this sentence? -- "After first under on. Do riding with civility." |

March 20 Taiwan Election I believe a friendly Taiwan (as either an independent republic or a province) is better than a rebellious Tibet (as an "autonomous region) for the people of regions concerned. Jianshuo, though we may not agree on this issue, it's nice to note you are collecting info and viewing a subject from different angles. |

Went to Shanghai Community Church That's my personal experience. Before 18, I worshipped God in underground churches. At http://www.christianmonitor.org/cpc/china.php http://www.christianpersecution.info/persecution-china.html http://www.chinahousechurch.org http://www.ccchina.org/GenericStyles/Content_netpfc.asp?ID=6955&PaperID=0080 you may find some information about Christians in China. You IT guys will find out a way to visit these sites, I believe. |

Went to Shanghai Community Church A vast majority of Christians in mainland China refuse to join the government-operating 3-Self Church. Most of them worship God in underground churches secretly and illegally. |

Shanghai SARS: Situation Severe Current SARS definition emphasizes "... AND close contact with a suspect or probable case of SARS OR history of travel or residence in an affected area". => http://www.who.int/csr/sars/casedefinition/en/ Bingo! S'hai gov't may be giving out honest information--to the best of its knowledge--if they fail to trace locals (W/ SARS symptons but W/O "close contact" or "history") to a "confirmed" SARS case! It seems WHO definition does not work with status quo here in S'hai . Should WHO definition be updated? Or perhaps the definition of "affected area" should cover all over the mainland? We S'hailanders are smart, aren't we? Don't worry, we have only two SARS cases here. With no trace of a hen, do you think an egg will turn out to be a real chicken? =) |

SARS Websites in China I read about this report at CNN but could not link to any of Time's sites tonight. Thanks to Caroline for pasting the full story here. Disclaimer: I am taking this story as rumor only, and I believe other readers will do the same. : ) |

Are the Media Directing the Right Way? I am so disappointed that the local government and health authorities continue to mislead the public. Today I noted (here in S'hai) only 6 people wearing masks but none of them wearing a protective SURGICAL mask. Do you anybody have any idea to persuade people to wear masks (and surgical masks)? I real want to do something. If the govenment is reluctant to fight SARS in a proper way, we must do something to fight. Please let me know your comments. |

No SARS Case Found in Shanghai Going to a hospital by yourself could be a danger to the public. I think a suspect should confine himself at home and dial 120 for immediate quarantine and medical service. |

SARS Outbreak - How Bad Is It? Anna: I am not a doctor but I know Ribavirin may be used for a wide variety of virus-related deseases. Prescription of ribavirin did not necessarily mean your boy was ill with SARS, or the doctor intentionally held back the facts. However, it is strongly recommended you should consult with your doctor at home before using any drugs prescribed by a Chinese doctor, esp for your boy. In addition, note that injection is Chinese doctors' favorite but has proved to be extremely dangerous here in China as you might get hepatitis or HIV in this way, even if you use disposable syringes in a seemingly good hospital. See a doctor from your home country or make an IDD call to your own doctor, you will find out the difference. |

SARS Outbreak - How Bad Is It? Firstly, only surgical masks--not the regular kind (filtering nothing but dust) for household use--work (filtering about 85% of virus), and of course N95 is better (95% approx.); Secondly, keeping a surgical mask clean is very important--do NOT touch it with your dirty fingers! Please check it out in detail--again, from HK: http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/sars/mask.htm |

SARS Outbreak - How Bad Is It? Hi, Jian Shuo: To be frank, I was very much scared in the past few weeks when the public knew almost nothing about the threat. Thanks God the Chinese government is going towards the right way, and I do feel much released! Thank you for your efforts, so we could have shared info about SARS during the days it was covered up. Believe it or not, I've been focusing on SARS for over a month and this webpage has been my harbor during these hard days, I should say. Thank you! By the way, on the pictures you posted above, I noted many people used masks improperly. I just worry it might be misleading as traffic at this site is increasing significantly. Can you post a warning such as "mask improperly used! you should..." sign beside the pictures? Again from HK gov't: http://www.info.gov.hk/dh/diseases/ap/eng/facemask.htm |

SARS Outbreak - How Bad Is It? http://www.chinacdc.net.cn/info/kuaixun.asp This is the website of "Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention" (China CDC). Here you may find Chinese translation of SARS information at www.who.int. China CDC belongs to Chinese government. Information here is, without doubt, reliable and locally acceptable. |

SARS Outbreak - How Bad Is It? You may have noted foreigners here in S'hai care about their health much more than locals. Are they really overcautious? On a bus, do you think it is "civilized enough" to fend your mouth with a hand when coughing? (Public health guides say one should use a tissue and PROPERLY dispose of it after use.) I was shocked when I heard a foreigner proclaiming he'd found an easy way to tell Chinese mainlanders from non-mainlanders: those who spit and those who don't spit! Though a bit exagerated, unfortunately he is right in general. Well, I am straying too far away. Let's get back to the topic: how to arouse public attention. As the topic is banned in China, it seems I am challenging the Communists. Will you risk prosecution spreading such info online? I don't want to look like a rumor spreader, while I do feel it hard to find RELIABLE and LOCALLY-ACCEPTABLE (I mean both the language that conveys the info and the info itself) online information. During the past few weeks, I've been sending links (English language) about SARS to my friends, but most of them, though versed in English, would not even spare a click. When I asked some of them for their feedback on the links, I was repeatedly told that the messages were deleted as another piece of junk mail! Today, instead of sending links, I am sending the HK's gov't webpage directly. Immediate feedback is satisfactory and encouraging. I never spammed, but I'd like to be a spammer this time. A suggestion: An HK pop star donated a sum purchasing medicated masks to present to health workers as a support. May we do something similar (I am not an imaginative guy but a follower only)? You've got a nice website that may call for support, I think. But before action you should refer to legal aid. |

SARS Outbreak - How Bad Is It? As some friends complain they cannot view traditional Chinese on HK government website I presented, please go to: http://sc.info.gov.hk/gb/www.info.gov.hk/info/infection-c.htm for simplified Chinese version, or, upgrade your browser to IE5 or later. Don't be panic about the desease. The mortality rate is not that high if the infected can be properly treated in time, and the world's efforts are making breakthroughs. By the way, I read about dozens of volunteers joining medical team at Prince of Wales Hospital (PWH, Shatin, HKSAR) when many health workers are down with SARS, while at Ruijin Hospital (S'hai), some doctors and nurses turned off patients showing SARS symptoms. I real feel it a shame! The local government should not cover up the facts any more. The public needs transparent media, full medical info, and most important of all, courage! |

SARS Outbreak - How Bad Is It? 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. |
