Researchers who study viruses have known about flu strains coming out of China for decades. The fact that it came from China is not novel. The fact that it appears as if the Chinese gvt had something to do with it is where I think some people are conflating their facts and blaming ordinary people who have nothing to do with how it started. We've been whipsawed between the media pumping it up, making it appear to be more lethal than it is, and the government irrational response and overreaction. No wonder folks are just lashing out at easy targets. In a way you can hardly blame them for reaching a breaking point. It's just as irrational to say "snap out of it" now. We've got to get back to a sense of normalcy and push to get the economy going again.
