I'm sure some sleazy operators that were being forced to destroy their birds managed to export some out and into Europe and who knows where else it got to from there.

Chinese restaurants are notorious for using the lowest grades meats around.
The countries have suspended importation of the live birds and poultry.

Also, there has not been a scientific link between getting the virus from an infected bird.
