17. It was just a matter of time. You could smell the racism in the MSM reporting.
Leading the horses to water, as always.

When this flu could've broken out anywhere, because this is the real cause: humans keep pigs too close together on the Factory Farm, so that they can make as much money in Pork Products as they possibly can. Animals this close together get sick, so the Factory Farmers pump 'em up with anti-biotics, which end up in the water supply, as well as in our systems when we eat the pork. Viruses gain resistance and survive, so stronger anti-biotics are needed, creating a vicious cycle.

It's absolutely Darwinian. Survival of the fittest virus. Did it ever occur to us maybe we shouldn't be farming pigs (and chickens) like this? That not only is it cruel to the animal, but harmful to ourselves as well??
