Have you ever noticed how there has never been an outbreak of the "Cleveland flu" or the "Denver flu", but there's always some new strain of flu floating in from China, every year, like clockwork? The cause is the appallingly poor sanitation in the rural areas of China, and the very close proximity of the humans to pigs and ducks, including their traditional practice of feeding raw human waste to pigs. The result is a new flu every year, something new to cause people to get sick and die all over the world.

It sure would be nice if the government of China could maybe spend a little less on missiles and bombs and airplanes and nuclear weapons and maybe spend a little more on plumbing and sanitation and toilets and hygene classes for the masses. Just a thought. Might spare us all a major epidemic.
