then why has china always been a generator of the flu

Because they have the largest concentration of pigs, ducks,
and people living together.
This enhances cross species transmission & mutations of the flu virus.

If we Americans would keep our pigs and ducks
under the house all the time we too could generate these nice viral things.

that's right.

i saw a pic the other day in the newspaper of a kitchen in southern china where these diseases originate, and they were slaughtering chickens, pigs, snakes etc in the same proximity.

i can tell you from growing up on a farm that birds are dirty and all kinds of diseases habit them.
