I thought about this some more. Perhaps they assume they will be goners and why bother?
Thanks for the link to related information and for your replies. From my experiences and what I see, the authorities with the duty of containing the virus are lacking discipline more than anything else. The Army could do much better much more quickly. Only my opinion thus far.

I am a former Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Warfare Officer in the United States Navy. What I believe we saw was a bio-weapon that was deliberately or accidentally released from a Chinese Bio-Weapons Lab in Sichuan. Hence the attempt to name it Sichuan Sheet,...
What was this biological weapon that I believe the Chinese have perfected by now? I believe it was a form of "Air or proximity transmitted (coughing sneezing) Ebola that could pass from person to person as easily as the common flu. If it was released on purpose, it was a perfect time to do so, because the newspapers in the region were covering the Bird Flu outbreak, and the bio-weapon release story could be lost in the Bird Flu story as the Bird Flu spread out of China...
The Bioweapon was very lethal at the beginning and the Chinese were frantic about getting it contained. Thousands of troops were rushed into Sichuan and other regions that it was detected including the Qinghai Lakes area where H5N1 Bird Flu was also breaking out at the same time. People were ordered to stay in their houses and not come out. Death squads of soldiers were sent from infected village to infected village and were eliminating whole villages and bulldozing the bodies under. Then all of the troops who were involved in the slaughter were killed. There was one report of a whole battalion of troops being marched into a large abandoned coal mine. Once they were all in there, the mine entrance was blown shut and all of those soldiers were left to die.
