This isn't anything new. Health officials have been monitoring various flu strains for years now. H5N1, if I recall correctly, is the real one to fear, and honestly, it is inevitable. This could pop up anywhere and trigger a global pandemic. Flu is a great threat.

China still sucks ass, but. Every single day a mutated flu virus is and always will be an immense threat, and it really could begin anywhere as it's a natural process.

Why does it feel like China is responsible for much of the awful things in the world? x.x

Because everything has "Made in China" on it.

Many viruses start in China and its the rest of the world that takes the biggest hit on their economies.

People losing their jobs, businesses going under, families about to start being evicted. Bill Maher was right, at some point the world needs to start holding China accountable.

China is more prone to airborne diseases like these, because their non-existent human rights/lax regulations for domestic livestock increases the likelihood of such diseases of spreading. China has wealth and power to prevent such diseases from spreading, yet they won't do it immediately.

If the diseases started in Mexico, they wouldn't be able to contain it nearly as well as China because Mexico is still a developing nation, and it's still trying to adopt many measures into combating various kinds of diseases.

Because it is. It's a shit-tier country that's able to roleplay as a first world country because it has so much wealth. For all of the U.S.'s problems (which it has a TON of problems), China is all that x1000.

It's basically the disgusting, obnoxious kid that nobody likes in elementary school, who gets invited to everyone's birthday party because they're rich.

I feel so bad for the Chinese people who have to live there.

Considering how fast China switched to one of the greenest places on the planet, I wouldn't be surprised if they put time and effort into finding cures for those viruses. Still very scary though.

It isn't, though this isn't that uncommon. It could become something down the line though, which is why we should be happy it was found now. I was reading the other day about a flu strain like this that was found before it became a big deal, and we developed a vaccine for it. Hopefully we caught this early as well.

As did I. I caught mine in 2011, worst 3 months of my life. I'm still suffering from the after effects to this day. I tend to get colds/flus more often, and my throat is screwed.

Well, when you combine huge, very dense human populations with unsanitary food market conditions and high intensity livestock farming, the risk of zoonotic diseases rises, particularly when bush meat and wet markets are involved.

Yes. All 1.4bn people in the 9.597 million km of China are out to get you. Every person in this 3rd physcially largest country in the world is out to get you. The frequency of viruses in originating from one of the largest + most populated countries in the world results from the people itself rather than probability based on size /s

People act like diseases only come from China, and want to ignore the viruses that originate in America, such as the fatal bird flu in South Carolina:

https://www.businessinsider.com/industry-scrambles-to-stop-fatal-bird-flu-in-south-carolina-2020-4

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) An infectious and fatal strain of bird flu has been confirmed in a commercial turkey flock in South Carolina, the first case of the more serious strain of the disease in the United States since 2017 and a worrisome development for an industry that was devastated by previous outbreaks.

The high pathogenic case was found at an operation in Chesterfield County, South Carolina, marking the first case of the more dangerous strain since one found in a Tennessee chicken flock in 2017. In 2015, an estimated 50 million poultry had to be killed at operations mainly in the Upper Midwest after infections spread throughout the region.
