Death rate wayyyy to small to be a major concern on this 1, more people die falling down stairs at home than this will kill it if spreads which it likely will, Chinese people generally poor and don't fly around that much so ?? But 1 day, sooner or later, 1 will come that'll reduce the human population hugely, maybe 50% maybe 99%, long term it would solve a lot of issues, maybe not a bad thing.
Nope, without a massive population reduction, nothing will really change then we'll have a 100% reduction in humans on the planet.
Do you mean like a Scientist type who isn't brain dead ? then yes!! Flat LOL ofcourse it isn't only total muppets are that stupid. Rabies if that mutated ( escapes from some lab ) to air born, then that'd create living fast crazed zombielikes and game over. Which is why there concerned about virus out breaks, might not be that deadly, but a quick mutation or 3 and game over.
You guys need to read or re-read Stephen King's The Stand or listen to it on Audio. It's chilling, especially during flu season. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stand
I am Legend!!! Someone has just announced a possible CANCER cure, ie ALL CANCER about to start human trials, sounds a lot like I am Legend plot that started with that, then it mutated.
