Flu Pandemic Bird Swine or Both?
According to the CDC "Centers For Disease Control and Prevention" pigs can be infected with several viruses at the same time and humans are more subsequent to the virus if ingested the tainted pork.
Influenza A viruses are found in many different animals, including ducks, chickens, pigs, whales, horses and seals. Pigs can be infected with both human and avian influenza viruses in addition to swine influenza viruses. Infected pigs get symptoms similar to humans, such as cough, fever and runny nose. Because pigs are susceptible to avian, human and swine influenza viruses, they potentially may be infected with influenza viruses from different species (e.g., ducks and humans) at the same time. If this happens, it is possible for the genes of these viruses to mix and create a new virus.
This type of major change in the influenza A viruses is known as antigenic shift. Antigenic shift results when a new influenza A subtype to which most people have little or no immune protection infects humans. If this new virus causes illness in people and can be transmitted easily from person to person, an influenza pandemic can occur.
What is Avian Influenza?

Because chickens do not have a urinary tract system, like humans and animals they are more likely to absorb their own acidic urine into their tissues. I guess you could say that's what makes chicken flesh or turkey flesh taste so juicy and why chicken or turkey flesh should never be consumed by humans!
I can clearly see that the poultry is tainted and I will not be eating any in the future I don't eat pork anyway but, this should open your eyes to what is happening to the food source. The viruses and medications from the poultry and pork are handed down to the consumer and ingested by them, so they are prime candidates for the Flu Virus. It really doesn't take a scientist to figure that out.
