Fever Fines: Taiwan is having an outbreak of Dengue fever, and the authorities are not pussy-footing around. Doctors who fail to report cases are being fined:
Individual doctors will face fines of between NT$90,000 (US$ 2,734) and NT$450,000 while hospitals face fines of up to NT$1,500,000.
According to Chou, patients sometimes ask doctors to keep their status hidden to avoid the hassle of being tracked and having sanitation teams come to spray their homes.
Meanwhile, the other China remains uncooperative in avian flu surveillance.
