CAIRO – Egypt's government was hoping to look strong and proactive in the swine flu scare with its decision to slaughter all the country's pigs, after taking heavy criticism at home for poor planning and corruption in past crises.

But instead, some Egyptians called the move a knee-jerk overreaction that even the World Health Organization said was unnecessary.

Egypt, which has no swine flu cases, is the only country in the world to order a mass pig slaughter in response to the disease. The move mirrored Egypt's battle with bird flu, in which the government killed 25 million birds within weeks in 2006.[/B]

But international health officials said the swine flu virus that has caused worldwide fear is not transmitted by pigs, and that pig slaughters do nothing to stop its spread. The WHO on Thursday stopped using the term "swine flu" to avoid confusion.

In Egypt, even the editor of a pro-government newspaper criticized the order to slaughter the estimated 300,000 pigs, which was pushed by parliament and issued by the government.

"Killing (pigs) is not a solution, otherwise, we should kill the people, because the virus spreads through them," wrote Abdullah Kamal of the daily Rose El-Youssef."The terrified members of parliament should have concentrated on asking the government first about the preventive measures and ways of confronting the problem."

The Egyptian government has come under criticism in past years for being caught flat-footed by crises.

Fucking stupid fucks

[Uncle]

"oh yes the flu strain cant mutate from species to species"

 

[tommykins]

Can someone give me a low-down on how the flu is transferred? Or how it was transferred initially to cause an 'imminent' pandemic?

It is transferred human to human. You cannot and will not get it by eating pork/being around pigs.

 

[Sir-BigBoyJames]

I understand it's transfers from human to human, but wasn't it initially transferred from pig to human?

Sure, but it's mutated into the strain that everyone's worried about, which is only human-human.

prevention is better than the cure yo.

 

[staticsiscool]

im pretty sure this is just the muslims using the swine flu to destroy all pigs lol

correct me if im wrong

im waiting

 

[Izzay]

Lolwhut.

 

[black_kat_meow]

they also did it with birds though

But in this case the pigs can't actually SPREAD the virus, I thought Avian Influenza could be spread bird to human, but not sure.

Kwayera, do you know?

 

[Kwayera]

Pigs cannot spread this strain of the virus. As I have said, its transmission path is human-human.

I know, but do you know if bird flu was the same or not?

 

[Kwayera]

Bird flu's transmission path was bird-human only, not human-human.

 

[black_kat_meow]

Bird flu's transmission path was bird-human only, not human-human.

Oh, ok, thanks

 

[Boxes]

Bird flu's transmission path was bird-human only, not human-human.

So Egypt was kinda on the right track when they got rid of all their birds?

 

[Izzay]

I know, but do you know if bird flu was the same or not?

yeah im pretty sure bird flu is not human to human.
afaik it's if you come in contact with infected birds or their shit.

edit: already been stated.

 

[Shoom]

dumb cunts, fuck them.

we all know why they are doing it, pigs are haram in Islam, and all the pigs in Egypt are owned by CHRISTIANS
