I think this one originated in a fish market. I can imagine how easily that could get unsanitary.Bah, 26 dead out of a population of 11 million in the outbreak city. Hopefully this turns out like SARS, Avian Flu etc... which all proved to be a bust. 750+/- dead from SARS? Big deal in the grand scheme of things. Seems to be a little bit of fear mongering going on. Though if you're old or young or have a compromised immune system, maybe take care. Why though, do most of these winter flu's originate in China?
Now they are saying that it is Snake borne. Said they had Snakes at that same market. I was a little concerned myself, since I just came through the Beijing China Airport, 4 weeks ago, on my way Home from Viet Nam....I think this one originated in a fish market.

Actually I did eat some Snake in VN, just so I could say I did. Yup ate a lot of strange stuff. Pig Ears, Cow stomach, Rice Patty Rats, Baby Mice, Snake, . But overall the regular food is Great.....EWWWW, no way in hell i'd eat snake! Guess i'd starve living there. I imagine you saw some funky food in nam ?
The food atmosphere is Great in Viet Nam

Snake is one of the main foods on "Naked and Afraid"!Don't have to go to VN to eat snake and I can think of lots of things less appetizing.
