Chile detected the H1N1 swine flu virus in turkeys, authorities said on Thursday, the first time the virus has been found outside humans or pigs.
Chile's farming and livestock agency SAG said the flu outbreak had been controlled at the two farms 75 miles (120 km) west of the capital Santiago.

It was a loooong time ago and the gray matter ain’t what it used to be. I can’t say as I’d ever heard of the Tine test.
The other FReeper had mentioned blood running down the arms of some of his classmates reminded me that the same thing happened to me when I got the multiple prick (Tine) teast in HS. (though that didn’t happen with the multiple prick test I got in boot camp)
In boot camp we got a Tine test, several injections with the gun and 2 or 3 intradermal injections at the same time. It was like an assembly line. We called it the “Flying Seven”

Is this virus ‘wind’ driven? Meaning how were these turkeys exposed in the first place? From people or pigs? Or both?

Why force vaccinations? Death seems like a perfect way to get health care costs down.

When I started grad school to work on a masters in pathogenic bacteriology, the head of the department insisted on screening everyone for TB and coccidiomycosis. My TB skin test faded away as usual. The coccidiomycosis stick nearly wrapped around my arm. A chest x-ray revealed the characteristic amorphous calcification patterns in my lungs. It's fairly common for off road motorcyclists in southern California. There was a spike in cases in southern California after the earthquakes raised lots of dust.

Much of the ‘control’ issues put into place around the world have involved large scale culling of domestic animals (H5N1). It gives the virus less of a reservoir and mitigates further spreading. This variation of H1N1 is part avian so it can be spread by wild birds. They’ll probably never know how the turkeys got it. Wild birds would be the best guess.

You might be off-the-mark on this one. Looks like it is going to be Sen. Kennedy’s death that they are going to use rather than the H1N1 scare-mongering.
