#2 China had the collective poop scared out of it during the SARS outbreak. In a very un-Chinese adaptation, they almost have a death penalty now for mis-reporting infectious disease information.

They are taking avian flu extremely seriously, and have deployed world-class contamination control teams several times in outbreak areas.

Physicians can be real motivators at times, even to the most intransigent of politicians. And judging from the world response so far, a lot of doctors have been putting the fear of god into a lot of politicians.
