Let's assume for the sake of argument that this bird flu shit you've
been historical about for months & months & months is real. Fine. It's
man made. Because no virus in nature acts the way you are describing.

So either your new pandemic is man made, no question about it, or it
doesn't exist. It's a hoax.

Then again, you're far to stupid to put the pieces together, even
with the picture on the box to look at... "NOOOOO!!!! Bird flu
passed in raw meat sold as cat food!"

It isn't hard to understand how viruses "respect" borders when borders
impact their transmission.  As has been pointed out and you keep
ignoring, the politics/economics are different across the borders. For
example, had the U.S. segregated poultry workers from dairy workers,
it's almost certain that the impact of bird flu on egg production
would have been much smaller there.
