DL, Swine Flu deve...No, Louise, we won't go there.<br /><br />DL, Swine Flu develops in the pig not in the waste lagoons. Other stuff develops there, like, Liberal government policy.<br /><br />Suek, the actual locus of A/H1N1 may never be determined. A previous H1N1 appeared in the US back in 1968. There was not much exposure in Mexico to that strain then. H1N1 has combined with avian, A, producing A/H1N1. Americans have some immunity to H1N1 but not A. Mexican have not experienced either which may explain the higher Mexican death rate.<br /><br />Factory farms in the US and Mexico are unlikely to be the locus because the porcine population is tested frequently. No viral infection has been found in any pig farm, except the Canadian farm reported in the post.Indigo Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17906787350123925867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12392119.post-64705082687158820182009-05-04T15:51:00.000-07:002009-05-04T15:51:00.000-07:00Whoops.

"Salzb...Whoops. Missed this on the second page. <br /><br />"Salzberg said he doesn't blame factory farms for the current outbreak, because swine flu is common among pigs. He wants to know more about the H1N1 virus' ancestry."<br /><br />So it isn't even _about_ those nasty manure lagoons, unpleasant though they may be...sueknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12392119.post-75892820244327448432009-05-04T15:42:00.000-07:002009-05-04T15:42:00.000-07:00"Scientists don't yet know when or where the curre..."Scientists don't yet know when or where the current H1N1 strain first developed. They know only that it was first identified after people in Mexico began falling ill with the fevers and aches associated with flu.<br /><br />The current virus hasn't been found in swine..."<br /><br />From that article that DL linked. To be entirely accurate: <br />"The new H1N1 influenza virus that continues to spread through the U.S. has ancestry in a swine flu outbreak that first struck a North Carolina hog farm more than 10 years ago, according to scientists studying the strain's genetic makeup."<br /><br />However:<br />"The current strain hasn't shown up in surveillance of U.S. pigs, and it can't be caught by eating pork."<br /><br />So DL's ill will is meaningless...sueknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12392119.post-55245379465784564982009-05-04T13:16:00.000-07:002009-05-04T13:16:00.000-07:00It seems the swine flu actually came from North Ca...It seems the swine flu actually came from <A HREF="http://www.kansascity.com/437/story/1175886.html" REL="nofollow">North Carolina</A>. A factory pig farm where the feces of hundreds of thousands of hogs are simply dumped in a pit and left to stink and leach into the ground.
