Let me get this straight. We have SARS cases in the United States, some in Europe, and a large number of them in Canada, but South Korea and Japan have none? Could they be lying more than the Chinese are? The author of this article and many others just seem to accept statistics from the South Korean and Japanese governments at face value, when we know, at least in the area of economic statistics such as unemployment levels and nonperforming loans, that these governments tend to hide the truth almost as much as the Chinese do.

This argument sounds a bit overstretched.

With this logic, can we say "all countries with no SARS reported are lying"?
