https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_swine_fever_virus#2018%E2%80%932020_African_swine_fever_panzootic or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_swine_fever_virus#2018%E2%80%932020_African_swine_fever_panzootic ; In 2018 the virus spread to Asia, affecting more than 10 percent of the total pig population in several countries, leading to severe economic losses in the pig sector.[28]
DJ, ASF showed up in lots of places in EurAsia (EU, India, China...) still also active in Africa... Can it be somehow linked to the following CoViD pandemic ? Could CoViD have been a (missed) coinfection in pigs-jumping (in)direct to humans ???? Even if ASF is -in itself- not a type of flu it may result in pigs catching different kinds of flu. Vietnam had 1 human H5N1 case this year https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/avian-influenza-bird-flu/vietnam-confirms-h5n1-mans-avian-flu-death or https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/avian-influenza-bird-flu/vietnam-confirms-h5n1-mans-avian-flu-death (linked at the time to birds...).
