I read last week that over 500 Million Pigs had so far been Slaughtered toi try and stop the ASF in China.

And Thailand is experiencing record high Pork prices

Wonder why

Nothing to get in a flap over.

No more domestic pigs, wild pigs, pet pigs. No more chickens, no more songbirds, no more seabirds. Destruction of species is the fruit of greed & overpopulation. Better get used to it.

 

Humans can't catch swine flu but bird flu is deadly.

The Mayo Clinic (https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/bird-flu/symptoms-causes/syc-20368455) says -

Although bird flu may kill more than half the people it infects, the number of fatalities is still low because so few people have had bird flu. Fewer than 500 bird flu deaths have been reported to the World Health Organization since 1997.

In contrast, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that seasonal influenza is responsible for thousands of deaths each year in the United States alone.
