According to the Nature news story, some scientists are questioning the wisdom of recreating the 1918 virus and publishing information on how it was done. Richard Ebright, a bacteriologist at Rutgers University in New Jersey, said Tumpey and colleagues "have constructed, and provided procedures for others to construct, a virus that represents perhaps the most effective bioweapons agent now known."
That's what I'm afraid China is doing. It would make a hellofa bio-weapon.
