This discussion piece examines the likely epicentre of the influenza pandemic of 1918-1919. Contrary to previous studies that have proposed a Chinese origin, there is documentation that suggests that, in this instance, the virus spread eastwards to China from Europe. Although more recent oubreaks of influenza have undoubtedly had an Oriental origin, the evidence indicates that future outbreaks could conceivably arise anywhere in the world.
这篇讨论文章研究了1918 - 1919年流感大流行可能的起源地。与之前提出起源于中国的研究相反，有文献表明，在这次流感大流行中，病毒是从欧洲向东传播到中国的。尽管最近的流感疫情无疑起源于东方，但有证据表明，未来的疫情可能在世界任何地方发生。
