Twelve of its staff had been infected by the dead woman, he said, and up to 40 cases were now being treated - a statistic that is more than the official figure for all of Inner Mongolia.

Kinda makes nonsense out of China's current "honest figures".

The reports raised the prospect of the disease spreading unchecked through China's vast hinterland, with impoverished sufferers unable to receive proper care and instead returning home to infect others.
These clowns were going to take Taiwan from us?

state media said patients from a poor region had been turned away from hospital because they could not afford treatment.

They should just come to the good old U.S. of A. and claim to be illegal Mexicans...free health care, education, and retirement.

Was Stephen King's "The Stand" merely popular entertainment? Or was it prescience?

PLEASE, Humans, shield Hillary from reading this!

In China, state media said patients from a poor region had been turned away from hospital because they could not afford treatment, with impoverished sufferers unable to receive proper care and instead returning home to infect others.

This must be untrue because Socialists/Communists all have free Health Care. Surely the Mark/Stalin/Maoists can't allow the Poor to go untreated!! There must be free Health Care??

"too poor to pay bill" ??

I thought THis was Communist China? You know, the nanny state prefered by the DNC and 1 out of 10,000 chinese takes care of you from cradle to grave?

Or is this how the make the "grave" come sooner to save money?

But seriously, HOW can this article be that reliable IF a Chinese Hospital, state operated, refuses treatment becasue the patient was poor? ALL are equal, no? The TRUE democracy. Or are there really some that are more equal than others??
