Oh lovely, now it's the swine
First it was the chickens, then mad cow, then MRSA, now swine flu with a hint of chicken.
That's it. I'm going to shower in BioCid now.

Great. We live in a wild pig state. As other states have deer roadkill, we get to have pig roadkill.

There are some people who argue that deer can spread a strain of CJD.

Could be, but my point was you don't get it from eating the meat. Unless you're dumb enough to eat raw pork anyway. Originally Posted by maclean

Ah Chuuu!!!. Excuse me, I just opened a package of bacon.

"It's a great life. You risk your skin catching killers and the juries turn them loose so they can come back and shoot at you again. If your honest , your poor your whole life. And , In the end , you wind up dying all alone on some dirty street. For what? For nothing. For a tin star."
Far from being a handicap to command, compassion is the measure of it. For unless one values the lives of his soldiers and is tormented by their ordeals , he is unfit to command.

I just read this: Originally Posted by maclean

Sounds like they must be a little worried about it spreading human to human.

Oh, I would say they are worried for sure - it only takes one for the jump to happen, and then we have a pandemic. Originally Posted by Retdetsgt

Got this in my email today:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has identified cases in the United States where people have been diagnosed with a form of influenza virus known as swine influenza virus subtype H1N1. That is the same virus causing human illness in Mexico.A Message on Behalf of the National Pork Board
CDC Declares Pork is Safe to Eat
Swine influenza virus not in pork
According to the CDC, swine influenza viruses are not transmitted by food. You can not get swine influenza from eating pork or pork products. Eating properly handled and cooked pork and pork products is safe.
Not found in pigs
The swine influenza subtype isolated from these cases is unique. It has not been found in U.S. pigs and had not been previously recognized in people. According to the CDC, “This virus is different, very different from that found in pigs.” At this time there is no evidence that this swine influenza subtype is present in pigs in the United States or anywhere in the pig herd in the world. The CDC’s investigation continues.
Transmission of the virus
The CDC has determined that this virus is contagious and is spreading from humans to humans. However, at this time, it is not known how easily the virus spreads between people.
Additional resources:
- The National Pork Board is collaborating with the CDC and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to provide information on swine influenza. Information on influenza can be found in the fact sheet, “INFLUENZA: Pigs, People and Public Health” available at http://www.pork.org/PorkScience/Documents/PUBLICHEALTH%20influenza.pdf
- The CDC provides updated information at http://cdc.gov/swineflu/.
- Information on the swine influenza virus is provided at the National Pork Producers Council website.
- Pork industry information will be updated at www.pork.org as information becomes available.
Questions:
Please contact Cindy Cunningham at 515-223-2600 or by email at CCunningham@Pork.org

WHO went to pandemic level 4 today.
Just saying. I know I'm not leaving the US for a while, nor am I going to any airports. lol

This is nowhere near a pandemic. Get educated, take normal precautions, and leave the scare tactics to the gov't and media. Time to move on with your lives.
