1. Take the population of the United States and quadruple it.
2. Take all those people and cram them all in to the east of the Mississippi River.
3. Fertilize your food with human waste
4. Put the more liberal elements of the New York State legislature in charge of the government.
5. Eliminate food standards and replace them with quotas

Scientific methods have advanced so much it’s easy now to recognize and characterize novel viruses.

In the past it’d just be a few people dying of the flu.

Now it can be studied at quite detailed levels.
