					This HAS been happening for thousands of years, Smashup. Spanish flu originated from China as a cross species mutation. More recently, so did swine flu, bird flu and SARS.
being a more connected world has helped it spread faster, plus the news/social media/telephones etc has made the panic spread even quicker than the virus.
If they hadn't named it, and just called it a particularly contagious seasonal flu bug, there may not have been that panic. I remember a 'particularly contagious seasonal flu bug' happening every ten years or so ... and they never published the contagion or death rates then. I have no idea if they killed as many people.
I do agree with you that the media love this stuff. They want headlines and stories that make people buy their papers or subscribe to their 'push' news media. No wonder people are anxious!
I also definitely agree with you that nobody knows the truth, even governments and scientists are still trying to find out what makes this virus tick.
The immediate reaction of governments, and the sheer scale of those reactions is puzzling. Do they know something that they are not publicising! After all, we are told that the death rate is between 1 and 3%. That is not high at all, so why is the entire country of Italy essentially imprisoned? It's those measures that are being taken that are much more worrying ..... 
(note to self: the actual number of infected people cannot be known as the virus is contagious before the patient starts to display any symptoms. The number of deaths can be and probably is known. Therefore, the death rate must be lower that the current estimates. Why the unprecedented actions by the authorities?
