#1 That is drastic, because most likestock resist epidemics. Their immune systems are better than ours.

Egypt has plans to kill all pig stock. Almost 10% of Egyptians are Christian and pork is a major food source. There were 1,000,000 Christians in Iraq in March 2003; that number has been halved. Christians will pay for more muslim pseudo science.

We need controlled experiments, where a single infected pig is placed among 50 healthy ones. Then test same daily for susceptibility and immunity. Any other approach is unfair to both farmers and the public. This will be a good test for Obama-Regulation.

Those of us who have been to Japan are aware that it has long been the practise for persons with cold or flu, to wear the standard mouth covering. Good idea.
