    “If it doesn’t spread from pigs to pigs and it just happened on that one farm, it’s not a big deal," Florian Krammer, a flu virologist at Mount Sinai’s Icahn School of Medicine in New York, told STAT. "If it starts to spread from pigs to pigs, then it’s much more of a problem,” he said. “If it ends up in large pig populations in the U.S. similar to cows, I think this would be a disaster.”

    Phew, no action required. Pig-to-pig spreading just happened at one farm, no bid deal. /s

    That’s how all of this shit starts. Livestock farming is a breeding ground for diseases, and everybody knows that. Let’s wait until it becomes a disaster and figure out from there.
