Few farmers in CHANGGANG, a southern Chinese village gave much thought to the swine flu epidemic that had begun spreading rapidly in the United States early this summer until police sealed its 100 residents off from the outside world for about a week.It turned out that a visitor from California had shown symptoms of the swine flu virus, or H1N1, when he arrived for a funeral.
Quarantines and medical detentions are among the aggressive measures that Chinese officials have taken to slow the transmission of H1N1, which quickly spread worldwide after being first diagnosed in North America.To howls of protest from around the world, China isolated entire planeloads of people entering the country if anyone on the plane exhibited flu-like symptoms.Local authorities canceled school classes at the slightest hint of the disease and ordered students and teachers to stay at home.China was virtually alone in taking such harsh measures, which continued throughout most of the summer.
Now, Chinese and foreign health officials say that some of those contested measures— more easily adopted by an authoritarian state—may have helped slow the spread of the disease in the world’ s most populous country.China has not had to cope with a crush of cases, and it began administering a vaccine for swine flu in early September, the first country to do so.Foreign officials also say China demonstrated an unusual openness to sharing information about H1N1 with its citizens and other governments.That is not to say that China has been spared.But, exact data on the virus are hard to pin down; many more cases are suspected than confirmed, and countries often use different methods to identify cases.The United States has reported more than two million cases and about 4,000 deaths.The United States Embassy in Beijing said that 2, 046 American citizens had been quarantined by the end of October, with 215 of those testing positive for H1N1.
But officials also say that the social and financial costs of China’ s tough measures will have to be evaluated to see whether they were worth the benefits.And it is unclear how decisive those actions were in slowing the transmission of H1N1—the summer heat in much of China was likely a critical factor in slowing the spread, and most schools were out of session at the time.
Furthermore, some foreign health officials say China’s methods for detecting cases of H1N1 are not as sophisticated as those in more developed countries, so the numbers in China could well be significantly underreported.Some foreign officials are still skeptical of the need for the strict quarantine measures, saying that China should have re-evaluated its policies by June, when it was apparent that the disease was not as lethal as initially feared.The State Council, China’s cabinet, did not decide to relax the quarantine policy until July.
Chinese and Western officials say Chinese leaders put in place a comprehensive plan for a pandemic outbreak after the disastrous experience of SARS.The government was so anxious to stay ahead of H1N1 that officials decided in June to start developing a vaccine even though testing kits for measuring the dosage of the agent in the experimental vaccines had not arrived from the W.H.O.It was an unusual step, but on Sept.5 China became the first country to declare that it had discovered a vaccine, and by late October it had produced nearly 53 million doses.
What did the most populous country do in early September to cope with swine flu?
选项
