Methinks the fact their is a strong link to the Chinese Army (PLA) -- and now the fact that ChiComs are trying to hide PLA SARS victims from an investigation -- this speaks volumes about whether this disease might have escaped from a secret lab in China.

The Chinese cerainly small dirty. JMHO folks. Feel free to flame away.

To all. Please see this post where I stated in early February that there were already 280 dead in China of what was then called atypical pneumonia and many more medical personnel infected.

(note also the post was attacked as bogus by someone who regularly posts Chinese communist propaganda).

Now that was early February and covered mainly cases in the southern regions of China, prior to widespread dissemination to Beijing.

It's easy to see there should be significantly more cases today.

The communists try to hide anything and everything that they feel might make them look bad. This is an example.

And we are well aware that CNN or other news organizations will play along with despotic regimes for access.

Thanks for posting this, Cathy. I wonder what the true numbers in China are.

This is an absolutely stunning article.

Everyone who knows anything whatsoever about SARS should read it.

And at a military hospital, 40 SARS patients were said to have been moved to a hotel for the duration of the WHO tour, in an apparent attempt to deceive inspectors about the true extent of the outbreak.

I sure wouldn't have wanted to be staying at this hotel.
