Chinese will die in droves if H5N1 gets a grip. Their lungs are a mess already, due to smoking and air pollution, and it's very crowded.

Hocking, bocking and hoiking are endemic. I joined in too, within a week in Beijing. Sitting in a cybercafe, the air is disgustingly thick with smoke; unfortunately I didn't have my gas mask and had to make do with a handkerchief over my face which wasn't very effective. I couldn't take long in there.

I suppose sars really got going in China due to susceptible people, who might also have had a DNA susceptibility. Sars didn't do very well elsewhere, though quite a few in Canada [older people especially] died from it. Sars made attempts to get going elsewhere, but only in Canada did it make any headway at all [outside Asia].
