I am confused now, do you?

They had mentioned the threat about bird flu when there were such cases in China. Yet after investigation, they said that situations were under control. Of course, the later would have very little exposure to contra the first warning. So we were frightened.

Now, with the possible or may be confirmed human to human bird flu in Indonesia, they said in low profile and hinting that we need not worry. Check: "Human-to-Human Infection by Bird Flu Virus Is Confirmed".

Why they have different attitude? We all trust scientists would not lie.

I believe that it is the same case as I pointed out about Time Magazine. After they have Chinese staff, every bad thing about China would be emphasized if not misguided.

The sad truth is most news about China was based on the news in Hong Kong, Taiwan etc. Of course, there are good and bad cases everywhere, China is no exception. If there were something bad, most countries would have such news, but never repeated day after day, week after week. That is different in Hong Kong.

If it is political cases, I do accept that foreign countries have to take whatever possible to suppress the rising up of China, especially they might be sad that they had not split up China years ago. However, for medical cases that should not be political, all people in the world need true information and not political advertisement. It is a shame to have such guys in scientific bodies.
