I do mean SARS which first surfaced in the 2000s in China.

Swine flu has been around for much longer, at least for 100 years.

Having one example and phrasing it to sound like multiple is misleading, imo.

Sorry about that. It wasn't the point, as SARS is caused by many different strains of the same type of virus.

The first outbreak of SARS-CoV was identified in Foshan, Guangdong, China, in November 2002.

Thats almost 20 years ago.

Also Swine Infulenza does not originate from Mexico.

The flu colloquially known as swine flu from 2009 did start in Mexico.
