My goodness, chill. The H1N1 is all over Worthington already. It lasts generally about 24 to 48 hours, fever, headache. But I do agree it could do big harm to the hog industry and therefore to Worthington. Hmmm. Well, Lord, here is another one for you, I have no power here.

One thing I don't think many people are aware of in the media is that by simply calling it 'swine flu' a few times has crippled the swine industry and if the swine industry falls hundreds of thousands if not millions of jobs will be loss. There is no negative effect of eating pork it is actually one of the healthier meats there are and is carefully contained and tested in the States. Also reporters (no offense) should think before reporting this. There 'may' have been a reported case. Seriously. I agree with First N. this was premature and will only spread more panic and loose more jobs.
