| #1 The best way to describe the current Chinese attitude to H5N1 is halfway between despair and fear. The disease has been slowly spreading its endemic operations area, and now "one here and two there" people are dying from it, over large distances from each other. In just two months, imagine just one person catching the disease and dying in Boston, then rural Utah, then a suburb of Miami, then in Harlem, and then two cases in northern California. With nothing to connect the cases. That is pretty much what the China outbreaks have been. And with a full, modern bio response to every one. You know something is bad, very bad, and there is nothing you can do about it, but wait. |
