I know, its not funny to use sensationalist headlines but that’s what the Telegraph have done with this report
From reading the article that i have linked above it is easy to get the impression that china is a backward country with bellow standard health care. well…. have you notices how there have been allot of anti-china posts all across mainstream media over the fast few months?
could it be that China’s industrialisation and moves to integrate into the global commerce has upset some people?
Anyway, i have been distracted from the topic at hand. China according to this article has over used antibiotics, recklessly encouraging the growth of MRSA type bugs.
just a thought but lets assume they have not done any of this because after all the Telegraph quotes a Swedish doctor no one has ever heard of as evidence
there are quality health care plans available in China including this company http://www.china-healthcare.us/eng/ who seem to be very legitimate.
the idea of a super bug that will kill us all has been in the psyche of the world for quite some time, with movies like ‘I am Legend’ and ‘Resident evil’ showing us mutating virus’s that destroy the world as we know it and often create an almost alien race of infected, then there was the talks of a world plague that the TV show Heroes pushed forwards a while back with on of their ‘five years in the future’ episodes.
it looks to me that Hollywood and the news media are trying to firmly implant a fear of sickness into everyone and now China is going to be the next ‘movie’ to scare us all…. well, i don’t buy it, the Chinese are probably guilty of a great deal of things as are we all but to pump this kind of hate mongering speculation is just silly.
My point is, lets not bash them for this just yet, after all since the H1N1 circus has left town the media are looking for the next opportunity to print ‘The end is nigh’
