Regardless if pig was backyard pet or headed to market, it’s huge concern to see #H5N1 in pigs, esp timed w/  prevalence of human seasonal flu viruses & unprecedented levels of #H5N1 in mammalian species across U.S.  

Critical to advance pandemic preparedness plans now.

Latest med research data from OR Ag officials investigating farm, pigs, it was wild birds at farm, wild birds brought H5N1 to pig.  2nd pig being tested.

DJ, Since (wild) pigs eat everything (almost) H5N1 must have been -asymptomatic- in (wild) pigs for quite some time..."The news" is a first detection in a farm pig. Further increasing risks also for farmworkers....

Oregon: Pig with H5N1 “had virus throughout their body,”

"a swab taken from another pig ... did test  positive"

Stat News

DJ, more testing=more cases...but the spread may have been going on for some time...Do (US) farm pigs eat both poultry- and cattle-litter ? Death animals ?

Among “all tools” to prevent health risks from highly pathogenic avian influenza, also consider having fewer animals per farm, & not having animal farms so close together. This reduces the chance of the virus emerging in the first place, & subsequently spreading out of control.

DJ, governments have to act-even if that increases further food prices...(but decreases pandemic risks !)
