Not really a surprise. History repeats itself.

1918 Flu Pandemic That Killed 50 Million Originated in China, Historians Say

For decades, scientists have debated where in the world the pandemic started, variously pinpointing its origins in France, China, the American Midwest, and beyond. Without a clear location, scientists have lacked a complete picture of the conditions that bred the disease and factors that might lead to similar outbreaks in the future.

The deadly "Spanish flu" claimed more lives than World War I, which ended the same year the pandemic struck. Now, new research is placing the flu's emergence in a forgotten episode of World War I: the shipment of Chinese laborers across Canada in sealed train cars.

There are reports of the virus from 1917 in europe and China. 1918 in the US is irrelevant. Once again the only "scientists" (and posters) that argue the US as source do so for partisan reason. Welcome to the club. Your own post says "hypotheses have suggested East Asia, Europe and even Kansas" with the "even Kansas" coming with an implied eye roll.

The most likely source is in fact east asia, that's where the earliest reports of the virus are from. As early as 1916. From probably to europe, then to the US in 1918.

Actually no one but kooks thinks or espouses that theory. It's widely debunked. The earliest reports of the virus are all from europe.

"Wuhang is the 8th most populated city in China"

So right there the chances are all ready less than 1 in 8.

Not sure why this got modded down. I run IT for a few hundred people and in my experience everyone that wants more monitor space wants wider or another monitor to go next to their current one. Taller might be good for coders working on one project at a time but I can't think of any other use cases. Most work loads call for multiple open apps and those go next to each other to be useful.

Except before you get through a portion of the population decides they like old mars better and blows up your stuff.

It's an invasive species. It does not belong in the florida keys. Does that help you with a starting point?

Here's your citation.

There's more if you look. Heh.

Here in florida people are getting positive test results who never even took the test. So that's how meaningful the results are.

Meh, europe makes the US look like a boyscout.

Yes ignorance on the internet is counter productive.

"a trusted group of fact-checking journalistic organizations". It's cute that you think such a thing exists. I'd like to see a citation.
