[[I’m still having a problem believing that this is a naturally occurring flu strain - the chance of a pig eating an infected bird’s droppings and then spreading it to humans is hard to imagine]]

Why is it hard to imagine? Pigs live out in hte open where bird droppings fall into hteir food sources all the time, plus they root around in the ground for roots, grubs, and other edibles, and there’s bird droppings all over hte place- an when you have pig farms (or any farm really) there is always goign to be grain that gets scattered round attractign birds lookign for easy meals

Twas an island country somewhere....in SE Asia, I think..that had rural pig farms..where the pigs just started falling over dead.

If memory serves me...they traced it to some sort of bat...that was a carrier of this virus.

Can't remember how they figured the transference happened...but apparently it did.

CDC types...went in there and killed every pig within miles.
