I Think Bacon Is Going To Be Pretty Cheap Soon

[SPKrazy]

no one to buy the pork.

Pork chops

Pulled Pork

Ham

Bacon

Pork Loin

Pork roast

Just wear a level 4 biohazard suit when cooking and handling it and then cook it really good and you'll be fine I'm sure...

Seriously, I fear that we have a perfect storm setting in, Mexico is a fairly open border, the virus is being spread human to human, it is apparently a combination of avian, swine, and another flu that have recombined to make it extra nasty.

So we have vaccine for it already? Hmm... is that true? A doctor told me that today and it makes me suspicious to imagine that is possible. Kinda like maybe it was a vaccine waiting for an outbreak? I'm not totally paranoid because sometimes they really are out to get you...

:hi: I hate to break up the jovial nature of the lounge, but on the other hand, I think we gotta take this one seriously. It could become self limiting... it could become more lethal, hard to predict the swing on a virus.

Be ready to get vaccinated soon because it won't take long before it will be called a national emergency as it is already pinging high on the WHO's radar screens. We are the WHO for the most part.

1. I ate pig three times this past weekend.

Pork pieces on Friday, a blt on Saturday and bacon on Sunday.

2. Wasn't it said that eatin' piggy products is safe?

[Gidney N Cloyd]

3. Wait, what did you say after 'bacon'?

[siligut]

4. The news wonks keep emphasizing that you cannot get the flu from eating pork.

I am sure they are worried about the price of pork bellies.

5. Really?

He was pretty good in The Woodsman. Or were you talking about:

[MrSlayer]

6. Let's hope so.

I'll take advantage of the sheeple's irrational fears and stock up.

7. Tons of errors on this post

No there is NO vaccine for this . It's a brand new virus how could there be? Of will take 8, 10,12 months to make one.what that person might be referring to is a universal flu vaccine on clinical trials that is said to be effective agaisnt H5N1 (bird flu). It's possible this vaccine MIGHT give some protection. Also you CANNOT get influenza from eating pork! Just like you can't get bird flu from eating chicken. People need to calm down listen to the CDC and WHO on this wash their hands frequently and stop spreading misinformation based on what they are hearing from peoples on teh internets.as an immunologist frankly it's pissing me off the idiocy out there.Influenza has been around for years and the basic biology of this has not changed in the last week! Also you are wrong about the make up of the WHO...Americans are only a minority there Swiss/European scientists make up the majority.They are extremely lnowedgeable too when it comes to infectious disease-I worked with them when I was at NIH working on malaria vaccines..

8. Whoa!!! Who woke Zoot up?

No worries here, since I'm vegan.

:hide:

Gawd but I crack me up.

9. Did you take your vitamin D too?

I'm going to be so damned cancer free that just driving by the cancer center I'll cure the whole fucking building. Really, I read that in GD.

[TZ]

11. I'm staying out of GD

It's contradicted for keeping my sanity intact.

[LeftyMom]

14. Some newb is swearing that a vegan diet will cure cancer.

I had to point out that that's just fucking retarded.

The only thing I hate more than stupid people is when the stupid people are on my side.

[flvegan]

12. I radiate veganism. I cure everyone of everything

when I simply walk past.

[LeftyMom]

15. Wait a damned minute.

I'm sick and you've errr... radiated me once or twice.

This vegan is defective. I want a refund.

10. The cats did

I'm still annoyed at the Nats too..

[flvegan]

13. Zoot, you gotta let baseball go at bed time.

Nothing good comes from that.

Well, unless you win. Like the Sox did. Then it's good. First place and all.

[SPKrazy]

19. errrr.....

:blush: easy does it...

I hope no one gets their facts from the lounge anyway.

A doctor did tell me that...doesn't mean he knows what he's talking about though.

One of the antivirals for flu I've read has been effective at treating it and the CDC was releasing it in preparation.

No you can't get it from eating pork, if you slaughter pigs that have it, who knows? As far as I know it is a human to human airborne particle transmission.

I hope you immunologists get a vaccine soon though :P

20. actually the reality is that people's perception and not wanting to buy our pork

should flood the market and make bacon cheap :P

[Critters2]

16. They said earlier this evening that no actual hogs have been Dx's with the disease.

Curious.

[TZ]

17. First I don't trust the msm on science

Second I know they've done pcr on the virus...they don't just prounounce it swine flu with no evidence Third it's a mutant virus of swine bird and a THIRD unknown viral strain --I suspect that pigs are no longer succeptible.pigs are incubators for mutation. If it was lethal enough to the pigs, you won't find it anymore either. It's obvious that this viral mutant has been around for a long time.. But the jump to humans is recent.frankly finding the right pigs at this point is probably impossible. They are probably all dead and eaten. Influenza viri has one of the highest rates of mutation of any type of viri. They evolve rapidly

18. I love bacon. I'll have to stock up. Besides, at my age, I'm not in the "at risk" demographic. n/t
