4,000 people 'quarantined' for SUSPECTED SARS, a virus which has no higher a death rate than other forms of Asian flu. A lot LOWER in some cases.

I rarely ever go into even remotely tinfoil hat mode so I oughtta have earned ONE tinfoil hat theory....

Does anyone besides me get the feeling China is using the UNinspired media hysteria-hyping to round up political dissidents, who will then conveniently die of SARS? They don't all even have to be dissidents. I see a perfect way for good comrades to kill off competition.

Murdering dissidents under cover of the manufactured SARS scare will protect China from - in this instance - further accusations of crimes against humanity.

There are forms of the Asian flu with close to a 10% fatality rate? Explain...

That might explain why 300 college students are being sent to military training camps, not hospitals.
