We don't know when we can apply the test. So many students change to other countries rather than the USA. It is a lose for you and us. TES cancels coputer GRE test in China, HongKong, Taiwan and Korea because they doubt us cheating. The students get higher score than pen test. It is unfair for us to do that. But we have no way to do because we want to go abroad the USA.

Has the Chinese government made any predictions on how long they think it will take to defeat SARS?

There are still no any cure medicines in China and world. The scientists are researching medicines. No one can sure what time we could find new medicine. What we can do is defend and wait.

We have recently heard news stories that because of a shortage of masks people, especially in outlying districts, are wearing bras on their faces.

Have you seen anything like this, or even just people wearing masks because of fears of contamination?

It is the first time to hear that.What you heard is the renown. In fact in the outlying districts there are no people to wear face masks becasue there is no SARS.In that area some women have no bras to wear because them is expensive for them. They wear other China tradition clothes. As you know China is a big weave producing base. We have enough face masks to use.

In Beijin,Shanghai,HongKong, Shenzhen,Guangzhou there are lots of people to wear face masks. But in other areas there are few people to wear masks. It is diffcult to breathe. There are some reasons:

1. Some people are afraid of SARS. They think it is safe for them to wear one.

2. Some people have a cough or other sickness. In this time people fear the cough. For reducing troubles they wear mask to protect other ones.

3. Prevent dust. I sometimes have to wear face mask in work because my work environment has dust. In cities wearing mask may reduce breathe car air.

4. ....

May be we should call for WHO. I have no underwear. Who I can ask for? YOU?

Nah, the UN doesn't want me. I would actually make real decisions, rather than standing around arguing with others.

Maybe you should write an e-mail to Fruit of the Loom.

Billy · 05-11-2003, 07:30 PM

The news report that they do that. In China mainland there is no report. We send Taiwan some face masks, but they don't receive them.

Hey Billy,
I work at the University of Minnesota and we have a strong relationship with Chinese students and scholars. I dont know too much about it but we have a link to your University. Here is our China Center. They have some visa info, etc. At the U of Minnesota we have the Carlson School of Management. It aint Philly, DC, or Boston, but it is the heartland!
