This is a particularly silly thread.
Do you realize that this particular flu strain has been breeding in Asia for years now, just not yet passing between humans?
Do you realize it has been called “bird flu” as well as “swine flu?” It affects both species.
Do you realize that the “Spanish Flu” of 1918 was a bird flu?
Do you realize that birds are a vector? They spread the virus?
Have you ever tried to close a border to a bird?
The health care community — not just politicians — have been warning us for years that a pandemic is likely. This may be it, it may not.
But blaming open borders is just plain silly.
That was then, this is now.
The flu is being spread by border crossings and not only those on foot....planes, cars, trucks.
Close the border now and deal with those that have slipped in.
And don't give me that bird crossing nonsense.
