May 4, 2009 (CIDRAP News) – The tentative detection of the novel swine influenza H1N1 virus in an Alberta swine herd over the weekend shook Canada's pork industry and raised concern about the potential for new hybrid viruses to emerge.
Canadian authorities said on May 2 that preliminary testing detected the virus in an Alberta herd and that it probably came from a Canadian carpenter who works on the farm and had a flu-like illness when he returned from a visit to Mexico in mid-April
Dr. Brian Evans of the Canadian Food inspection Agency (CFIA) said the worker had contact with the pigs on Apr 14 and that about 220 pigs in the herd of 2,200 began showing signs of sickness on Apr 24, according to a Canadian Press report.
Further reminders that evolution is still targeting those unable to keep up, no matter how we might try to keep all the species alive - including ours.
It just shows Nature will find a way to reduce our population if we don’t. I found the Swine flu article of interest. It looks like humans gave the flu to the swine.
I'm all for evolution but did they really have to spin it off of "Yes Virginia?" I love that article man. I regards to the flu, it's our own fault. If your young and healthy and do not work in healthcare DON'T get vaccinated! It's just making the flu stronger.
*In regards, and I mean the flu viruses we get vaccinated for every year
