On the TV today it was mentioned that the Flu virus is predicted by what comes out of China...?

Why do we look to China to determine the flu vaccination that we use here?

This is no new news. Thanks to global trade and travel viruses such as the flu virus have a wider range than they did in previous years. Scientists have mapped a global flu "pattern" which originates in South Asia (AKA China) and slowly spreads through the rest of Asia, into Europe, and then into the Americas where it dies out...thus it makes sense to look at what is happening in China months before it heads over here to create a vaccine.

It seems we get all our supplies, household,some food and medications from china...even lumber and whatever else. Good old Bush likes to trade with China until we have a new president we will have to stay with China. Hopefully it will all changed when we get our new president. My husband takes warafin, a blood thinner and that was fatal to lot that takes blood thinners also all the toy with the lead poisoning...dog and cat food and I could go on and on. It all don`t make sense!!!!!!
