That’s in addition to the disease that is in the pigs that has already spread to Russia.

Link or source, please?

Sorry, I didn’t make a note/copy of it. Just going from memory and it was a few days back, so I don’t really recall where. I’ll try to remember to do a search tomorrow, unless you find it before then.

Disease in pigs?

Presumably this is about the epidemic of African swine flu that is going around Asia. One third of the pigs in China are threatened, and there has been a few cases here in the Philippines. It is fatal to pigs but doesn't spread to humans.

As for scarlet fever...this is caused by strep, the same germ that causes strep throat. Strep throat with a rash is not rare. Most strep cases are mild, but now and then a nasty type pops up... and can cause rheumatic fever or other problems.
