Bird flu detected in pigs for first time as confirmed human cases double in two weeks

“If it doesn’t spread from pigs to pigs and it just happened on that one farm, it’s not a big deal," Florian Krammer, a flu virologist at Mount Sinai’s Icahn School of Medicine in New York, told STAT. "If it starts to spread from pigs to pigs, then it’s much more of a problem,” he said. “If it ends up in large pig populations in the U.S. similar to cows, I think this would be a disaster.”

Phew, no action required. Pig-to-pig spreading just happened at one farm, no bid deal. /s

That's how all of this shit starts. Livestock farming is a breeding ground for diseases, and everybody knows that. Let's wait until it becomes a disaster and figure out from there.
