Really nerve-wracking to hear that there is a possibility of a new pandemic - that of a new swine flu.

One is enough!

Many viruses such as the flu and COVID originate in China. These pandemics will never end if China does not adapt safer protocols with farming and meat processing.

Certainly removing American scientists from China and stepping away from the WHO are not designed to improve response to pandemics.

Meaning what?

US has random plague cases from people killing animals or camping in the woods. China has plague cases from people eating rats. China also had other viruses from eating off-brand animals known to carry viruses. Big difference.

The initial swine flu outbreak originated in our own midwest.

You learn something new every day. Never knew pigs could catch viruses from birds and mutate new ones. ?
