The most baffling is that even if the epidemic is spreading, and still can not see the central government or the Ministry of Health to come forward to co-ordinate the work of national immunization, but continue to be fragmented by the local government. The face of a new round of epidemic outbreak, authorities are still hiding, hiding the notification provisions exist in name only.Could China's human life really not worth the money?

Local authorities to prevent Internet users in the disclosure of information rather than to prevent the spread of the epidemic, people ask: whether to forget the painful lesson to conceal the SARS epidemic? Xi Li can avoid making the same mistakes?
