There is nothing that can be done. These pandemics claim some serious amounts of lives, but way less than the deaths from famine that would arise if they didn’t have their wildlife food industry and abhorrent dining practices.
Sterilization? Do you get to have kids? Why shouldn’t they?
Limit to one child? That didn’t work.
“Regime change” wars? We can’t even get that right with small shithole countries, we have no chance with our biggest rival.
This will blow over in a year and will be forgotten by the mainstream. In 10 years another big one will hit, and depending on who our president is will dictate how serious the media wants to push it.
China needs to be held accountable. They should change their way of life - it is not working out for the rest of the world. 1.4 billion people crammed into their boundaries is also a recipe for disaster. The one child policy was a good idea and Africa should be forced to follow that model as well - or a zero child policy!
https://www.history.com/news/china-epicenter-of-1918-flu-pandemic-historian-saysChina Epicenter of 1918 Flu Pandemic, Historian SaysFor most of the past century, scientists and medical researchers have hotly debated the origins of the 1918 influenza outbreak. Although the pandemic had been dubbed the “Spanish flu,” it only appeared to hit harder in neutral Spain because the country was free from wartime newspaper censors such as those in the United States, France and the United Kingdom who minimized reports of the influenza outbreak in order to prevent potential panic. While some researchers have pointed to a military camp in Kansas or the front-line trenches in France as the breeding ground for the disease, a Canadian historian believes he has discovered evidence to support those who theorized that the “Spanish flu” actually started a world away in China.
According to a new article published in the January 2014 issue of the journal War in History, historian Mark Humphries of Canada’s Memorial University of Newfoundland points to newly unearthed records to make the case that
the lethal influenza pandemic first appeared in China in 1917 and then exploded across the globe “ as previously isolated populations came into contact with one another on the battlefields of Europe.”
Humphries, author of “The Last Plague: Spanish Influenza and the Politics of Public Health in Canada,” writes that victims of a mysterious respiratory disease that broke out in northern China in November 1917 suffered many of the same symptoms as those of the “Spanish flu.” Doctors reported that patients turned blue from a lack of oxygen, coughed up blood and suffered from fevers, headaches, pneumonia and shortness of breath. The highly contagious and deadly disease was particularly unusual in that it killed otherwise healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 40 by seemingly turning their strong immune systems against them. However, with no solid scientific evidence of the outbreak’s cause, local Chinese health officials labeled it “winter sickness” and chose not to quarantine citizens or enact travel restrictions.
