Magazine claim China covering-up bird flu groundless

Why do we consider the New Scientist not respecting science in this regard?

Firstly, the bird flu broke out first in 1878 in Italy. Mankind has been struggling against the disease for over a century; the sources and infection channels followed epidemiological patterns and required scientific study to understand.

Secondly, as a highly contagious fowl disease, the Avian influenza spreads beyond boundaries. The epidemic has hit ten countries and regions in Asia where similar farming practices are adopted. It is virtually impossible to say where this outbreak originated.

Thirdly, China is not the first country to be hit by the virus this time.

China discovered the first suspected case on January 23, 2004 in Long'an County, southern Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region bordering Viet Nam, the case was confirmed four days later. But then, the epidemic had already broken out in several Asian countries and regions.
