Hasn't one of the basic problems been one of hygiene? A friend came back from that part of the world in September and noted that the 'wipe with one hand, eat with the other' ethic is still fairly common.
On top of that, there are just LOTS AND LOTS of people, which, even under the best of circumstances (which China is not), leads to large-scale spread of disease.
