or that similar outbreaks will appear elsewhere. The zero COVID policy of China a few years may have made the population in China more susceptible to a viral outbreak due to weakened immune systems. There also has not been a vaccine developed for RMPV and the fatality rate is low so I doubt that a government intervention would have a significant impact.
