1. Interesting, but SE Asia is generally considered the incubator of new flus
In large part because of densities and proximities of humans and their productions animals living in unhygienic conditions.

Which is to say that the incubator of influenza that most public health officials identify is actually the opposite of factory farms.

So, it will be interesting to see where the geographic origin of this flu is ultimately placed.
