mmm well arent people thankful that the chinese had alerted everyone first rather than just let the virus out and NOT told anyone. Every year there is some new strain of flu that nobody has immunity to yet.
If they had not reported the deaths people would just be unaware and not taking steps to prevent or build up immunity, or look after each other.
Last year I went on a gardening road trip on a bus and came back with a bad cold. It was probably cos of sitting in a bus with lots of elderly people and lack of air circulation. some of those coaches can be stuffy ad you cant even open windows despite the air cond.
I also catch anything thats going round at school. I always make sure I have adequate ventilation, when Im driving, always open windows and my library too. when school holidays came round all the teachers just stayed home, they were all sick!
