A Chinese girl wears a mask as she sits on a tricycle at an outdoor
market in Beijing April 17, 2003. The World Health Organisation said
the epidemic of the deadly Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)
virus is much worse in China than officials have acknowledged after
unreported cases at secretive military hospital were uncovered. The WHO
said the capital, Beijing, could have five times the officials number
of 40 deaths after a team visited army hospitals on Wednesday.
