       H5N1 bird flu has been found in a pig in Oregon, USDA reports
       Bird flu has been found in a pig for the first time in the U.S.
       OCTOBER 30, 2024
       Summary-
       "finding bird flu in a pig raises worries that the virus may be
       hitting a stepping stone to becoming a bigger threat to people,
       said Jennifer Nuzzo, a Brown University pandemic researcher.
       Pigs can be infected with multiple types of flu, and the animals
       can play a role in making bird viruses better adapted to humans,
       she explained. The 2009 H1N1 flu pandemic had swine origins,
       Nuzzo noted."

       This is not good news at all, and I am now hearing that they
       have found it in a second pig and that a 3rd is being tested.

       A very unfortunate development but also not unexpected given
       society's lax attitude with the recent cattle infections.
       I have listened to virologists speak of such a possible scenario
       and their assessment was that, should a pig become infected with
       H5N1, the likelihood of that virus entering society goes from
       "if" to "when."
       Let us hope that nothing significant comes from this
       development.
