I was talking to a friend of mine just the other day about this possibility. A plausible scenairio could be that this is a bio-weapon that perhaps a terrorist organization accidentally released in or were themselves exposed to while transporting to a potential target city. Hence, the relative small number of casualties to date, due to a lack in concentrated release.

The region of China where this started is agricultural. China's bioweapons program is one of the most secret on the planet. This probably leaked out through one of the non-scientific workers being exposed to it and then took it home.

If that is the case, and the Chinese didn't intend for it to get loose yet, then they haven't perfected the vaccine either. As with any disease, countries with less healthy living conditions and weaker health care systems will be hit the hardest. Especially China, and Russia as well.

I read yesterday that this effects Asians more dramatically than non-Asians. Anyone else read or hear about that?
