SARS: China's Cover-up of a Deadly Pandemic

Sars: China's Cover-up of a Deadly Pandemic was a scandal that happened in 2003. It began when Chinese authorities attempted to hide the severity of the SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) outbreak in the country. This cover-up allowed the virus to quickly spread outside of China, leading to an eventual global pandemic. The incident caused many to question the Chinese government's transparency and accountability, as well as raising questions about global health governance. In the end, the SARS pandemic led to the death of over 800 people and economic losses estimated at $50 billion.
