Now about how Western media can misinform people. I heard quite a few US/western doctors, and Western media, claim there is no cure for SARS/atypical Pneumonia. This is absolutely not true. Close to 80% of Chinese patients have been cured I think you are having a translation problem here, Yiwu. "Cure," to us, means a way to stop it, such as a vaccine, or a potion that will stop it from continuing when someone has it. You are taking "cure" to mean people get over it. Not the same.
