Before you get too bogged down in conspiracy theories, flu like many other viral deseases are not predictable, and often outbreaks can be small and local or nationwide epedemics with out any clear indication of where the outbreak originated.
Historicaly speaking most viral infections, especialy flu originate in the far east, often making their first public appearence in places like Hong Kong and China. Which is why flu vacinations are made by going to these counties, finding the latest flu bug, and culturing an inocculation based on the variants that appear to be most likely to make it to the Western world.
Flu can be a killer, tho it is not often outbreaks occur to such an extent that mass casualties are involved. Notable exceptions are epademics such as the variant known as Spanish flu which broke out at the end of the First World War. The eventual death toll was greater than the total loss of life caused by the war that preceded it. Almost all the deaths were in the old, young and the many injured from WW1 and were attributed to the lack of resources and food caused by the war.
The good news is tho, that your in the lowest possible risk catagory. Just don't die and make me look like an idiot. Razz
