I am sure China and the WHO will handle it swiftly. In all seriousness though there is a risk of this version of swine flu to become a pandemic there are many zoonotic strains that risk becoming a pandemic at any point. Some already infect humans but just have yet to adapt to spreading person to person yet. The word really needs to be ready to respond to situations like this. We are lucky covid-19 is not worse and hopefully will wake up society to the risks.
