Across China, 110 people have died from the disease, according to the World Health Organization.

This figure is so unbelievable. One would think that every time someone cites this number they would add the words "supposedly" or "the Chinese government claims" or something to that effect. Do we really think the gov't of the PRC would act like they have in Beijing if only 100 odd people had died since November?
