(Clearwisdom.net May 15, 2003) WHO officials expressed on Tuesday that
China's military refused to offer data on how many members in China's armed
forces have been infected with the SARS illness. China's military estimates that
the SARS cases in the military account for about 8 per cent of total SARS cases,
and claim that this data has been reported to the higher authorities. But the
WHO officials accused China's military of refusing to offer some basic data,
such as victims' gender and their location. A representative of the WHO in
Beijing, Henk Bekedam, said on Tuesday that the military and local authorities
should share the information about these cases. If we want to control the SARS
epidemic, we need to know this kind of data.
