Very interesting thread regarding the Chinese and the US
You can’t compare rates from other countries and apply to US. Also, India and Africa appears not to have significant transmissions. Pig flu only infected 20% of US, if I recall correctly.

The last big global killer endemic was the Spanish Flu ending around 1919, killing ~675k when the US population was ~100M (was a misnomer too as it actually began in Kansas). From then forward, we mostly got on top of things and had no more infectious global killers again until ~1990. Something changed around 1990. Since then, 7 or 8 of new, previously unknown infectious killers have popped up. Those have mostly been viruses, and mostly jumped from animal to man. Hatfill says it is not easy for an animal virus to live in a human host. But once they do make that jump, they become very dangerous. Viruses live to replicate themselves, so they are always trying. And what changed in the early 1990s is we have never had the human population densities that we have now, combined with international travel and globalism. It's a new world out there and the experts do not know what is going to happen. Hatfill thinks we are entering "the age of pandemics."
Today, the current fear in the rest of Asia (Tibet, India, Thailand for example) is that this is going to jump borders and get into their own mass density population centers. And they lack the proper infrastructure to treat and contain the coronavirus. They are not close to being ready. This is one of the ways the Spanish Flu spread - there was a total lack of proper medical infrastructure to contain it. So these countries are in something of a panic at the moment.
Back in China, Wuhan is huge, with more people than NYC. You may have noticed the CCP has finally gotten serious and fired all the medical heads in Wuhan (who issued a public apology). Some people are even already calling this the "Chinese Chernobyl." There you not just had substandard Soviet construction/engineering, but you also had the corrupt, dishonest Govt cover up and lying which compounded the errors. They see many parallels with the current CCP.
