Swine flu makes a pig's ear of world health!

I can't help but think that this swine flu outbreak is Nature's way of telling us we've got it all wrong. This morning on the BBC News channel there was a report from an ABC newsman from Mexico. He was talking to some people who were fed up with living next to the stench of defecating pigs who were stuffed into this hellhole of gigantic pigsty. The reporter wore a face mask. The local Mexicans did not. The gist of all this was that the mutating flu germ had probably found a ready made location for "mixing it". I do not know whether there is any scientific evidence to suggest that this frightful piggery was a contributing factor. The very least of it all was that it was no place for pigs! The heat must be unbearable. The local population could pick up all manner of diseases, swine flu amongst them.

If this disease emanates from pigs, then it is no doubt that humans have had some part in causing the flu germ to respond as it has. Nobody has yet said that any pigs have got it. Perhaps they have become immune. They'd need some kind of immunity just to survive in most of the housing they are put into.

And I feel a bit for the general Mexican public. It must be hard enough struggling to earn a crust in that country. The last thing they want is for the rest of the world to think that they should be avoided. Just as with avian flu, this outbreak will probably cause a lot of chattering scientists to give us their views, but that the whole sorry state of descecrating the Earth will continue.

I'm only glad we were all born with an immune system. If not, entering this world could mean instant death, particularly in some hospitals I could name! What is that saying, "Cleanliness is next to Godliness". I bet that the whole flu germ community is over the moon with a grubby world that is embracing secularism by the second!
