In the rural Chinese area where we work, the people are being told there is no problem and everything is under control. We are told there are no cases in this city, or any other place in this province, save one case in the provincial capital.

But, two people have told us their grandparents have SARS, and the schools and other organizations have recently given papers to all their students telling them in detail how to wash their hands. (Mainland Chinese people often believe that simply rinsing the hands with water will clean them ((even if the water used is too dirty to drink)) and most don't know about/don't believe in the concept of germs.)

All their lives they've been thinking water was fine and got you clean. Now they are learning for the first time that soap is really and truly essential, and being told it is "to avoid all kinds of diseases." But, they still believe that there is no danger, no problem and no cases here.

A government who can pull the wool that easily over the eyes of millions of their own citizens, living right in the middle of something, often thinks it must be just as easy to pull the wool over the eyes of the world. They never account for, and can't quite understand, culturally, the concept of an independent, reasoning thinker.

BEIJING — Chinese authorities ordered doctors in Beijing to hide patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, from World Health Organization (WHO) experts = Bullet in the back of the head at the nearest laogai camp.
