SARS - Treatment/Containment tables - updated with Wednesday's numbers
...China cheating on their SARS reporting - smoking gun evidence here

[Judith Anne]

So, if China has stopped reporting any new cases, and now a Russian has a confirmed case near the China border, and Taiwan is fudging numbers, and Canada if fudging numbers...

Probably means it's out of control, that's my guess, and nobody's going to report numbers any more.

From the beginning, though, the numbers were suspicious...we've never had any accuracy for various reasons. That just leads me to think worst-case scenario for the fall.

Thank you for the link. Yes I believe China and other nations do fudge their figures. The problem is, their health care is nowhere near as advanced as ours, so even though their figures are fudged, our's wouldn't match theirs anyway. Extrapolating meaningful implications for our citizens is very difficult. I still maintain that mortality in our nation would be sustained in the 90 plus percentile.

I haven't pulled down Canadian figures yet, but I'll bet this bears out up there.
