Your two ideas are its a conspiracy to cause fear or a conspiracy to downplay.
The truth is in the middle; its just another flu, flu is sometimes deadly, some flus particularly so. China is pretty experienced in managing flu epidemics, likely things will be fine: news papers make their money sensationalising.
Just hope it doesn’t make it to America because the states are ideologically opposed to public investment on preventative measures and primary healthcare even though the returns on investment are incredible.

Jims the only one talking sense. I suspect as usual Sol is trolling for attention but since a number of people always swoop in and say he is an elite troll who knows or indeed cares.
Denying a flu outbreak is happening and taking no preventative measures etc is as bad as rural africans hiding people who are clearly infected and suspecting the government is the one causing the outbreak (ala smallpox).
Only they have an excuse for the low education level. Smallpox was eradicated by vacination, its not a theory. It happened.
Flu is real. You can pretend it isn't but alas it cares little of your skin colour, race, accent or what you do or dont believe in. It infects you all the same and if its nasty flu (e.g. sars or spanish) then you roll your D10 and take your chances.
I guess we will soon find out which it is. <shrug>
