"There was no immediate explanation as to why the number of new cases in Beijing was more than the number of new cases for all of China."

And who's to say Bejing's numbers aren't trimmed too. Perhaps we better just double even their best numbers to get a real ballpark figure.

I am not sure that the Chinese are yet reporting the full extent of cases (as the disease appears to have originated there), but it may be a start.

Also, BBC radio now reports that the Chinese have had their health minister and the minister of Beijing removed (as the obligatory scapegoats).
