In a recent China trip to see her family my wife found that they were scared to death she was going to infect them with swine flu. She was able to prove or convince her immediately family that she was not sick, Her friends and acquaintances refused to have her near them.
She is Chinese and was to be a tour guide for some friends from Chicago that wanted to see the Great Wall and other historic sites. They were part Asian in heritage and looked like they were natives as my wife is. They had no problems with moving around. The populace wasn't scared as they didn't know my wife and friend were from America but her family did.
My point is that the government of China has scared their population about Americans carrying the swine flu that even family members wouldn't get near my wife. Government control of the media at work creating mass hysteria causes lack of freedoms along with common sense. This was a very eye opening stark example of government media and controls.
