"But even so, that's an extremely contagious virus..."

When we find out that it can survive in the wild animal population, it's all over. (I wonder why we haven't heard about any animals being affected?)

It was successfully given to primates in tests.

Also, South China is a notorious hot house for all manner of viral infections due to the area's primitive intensive agriculture, placing humans, chickens, and pigs in close (and extremely filthy) proximity. Viruses spread back and forth inter-species, constantly mutating and with escalating virulence.

Because of this chronic public health hazard, South China is the source for most of the world's new strains of flu, colds, and other diseases.

The only exception is AIDS, which originated in Africans bush-meat eating of monkey brains, spread by gay flight attendents to the West and local "sex workers" to kill 1/5 of the Sub-Sahara heterosexual population.
