Wow, a flu that kills within two hours from infection? And what is your source for that?

I've seen it too. The source was an anecdotal report from the Boxun folks. Seems some of the people supposedly from the "Strep Suis" bacteria in pigs have been dying very quickly after coming in contact with pig blood during the slaughtering process. The fastest was 2 hours.

It was assumed exposure to the pig blood is what led to death, but that assumption has not been confirmed.

Strep Suis has NEVER been even remotely this dangerous before. Hence the suspicion that the mysterious pig disease is something else. The Chinese decision to move 50,000 "medical workers" into place was supposedly to monitor this bacterial pig disease.

Since a common sequence for flu is birds to pigs to humans, with the jump from pigs to humans fairly easy, it is natural to wonder if the real culprit behind the pig disease is H5N1. Since the Chinese are not cooperating, we have no conclusive proof.
