Swine Flu | The Real Story

Filed under China, H1N1, Muslims | 2 Comments

Earlier I have posted on H1N1 and influenze and I recieved many comments which more or less point to the fact that it could have propogated even in a Muslim Civilisation.. Some advised me to do some proper research before commenting on such sensitive topics.. So here am I.. Prepared and confident..


What is going on?

• Swine flu is a virus that originally infected only pigs and they spread it from one infected hog to other hogs the same way it spreads in people, by direct contact or by droplets holding the virus in the air after a pig coughed or sneezed.
  
• Because pigs are physiologically very similar to humans, when they have been living closely with humans, some microbes that can infect them are able to be changed or mutated into strains that people can catch.
  
• These types of diseases that we can get from animals are called zoonotic diseases.

• QaziMamoon.com wants to prove that in an ideal Islamic society, such an outbreak would never have taken place. Because Islam considers pig as a dirty animal which should not be bred for food/any other use. A pig is thus considered Haraam in Islam.

• Its simple, I just prove that Swine Flu originates in societies which directly/indirectly have to deal with pigs.
• I also prove that 2009 outbreak of H1N1 also has a source in pigs.
• Here are some of the links for those interested in reading...

• Influenza is quite common in pigs, with about half of breeding pigs having been exposed to the virus in the US.
• The main route of transmission is through direct contact between infected and uninfected animals. These close contacts are particularly common during animal transport.
• The direct transfer of the virus probably occurs either by pigs touching noses, or through dried mucus.
• Airborne transmission through the aerosols produced by pigs coughing or sneezing are also an important means of infection.
• The virus usually spreads quickly through a herd, infecting all the pigs within just a few days.

Transmission to humans

• People who work with poultry and swine, especially people with intense exposures, are at increased risk of zoonotic infection with influenza virus endemic in these animals, and constitute a population of human hosts in which zoonosis and reassortment can co-occur.
• Transmission of influenza from swine to humans who work with swine was documented in a small surveillance study performed in 2004 at the University of Iowa.
• This study among others forms the basis of a recommendation that people whose jobs involve handling poultry and swine be the focus of increased public health surveillance.
• Other professions at particular risk of infection are veterinarians and meat processing workers, although the risk of infection for both of these groups is lower than that of farm workers.

Interaction with avian H5N1 in pigs

• Pigs are unusual as they can be infected with influenza strains that usually infect three different species: pigs, birds and humans.
• This makes pigs a host where influenza viruses might exchange genes, producing new and dangerous strains.

Let me introduce you guys to Alex Smart. He is an ordinary Kashmiri, loud and stupid. Thanks to a friend, I managed to get a lot of cartoons made, which from now on are going to represent him. Alex Smart always ends my post in a surprising yet funny way.. Sometimes he will be the true Kashmiri self, most other times he will be some one or the other.. Ladies and Gentleme.. This first dedicated post to Alex Smart is a really smart poem indeed. Meant for those Kashmiris who try and join english coaching centres in order to improve their English. Umm.. I knew one guy who went.. He started talking to me in the wierdest mix of American-Kashmiri accent English.. As I have said somewhere.. Kashmirs and Americans dont mix... Here is something I found somewhere..

Pronunciation:

I take it you already know
of tough and bough and cough and dough?
Others may stumble, but not you,
on hiccough, thorough, laugh and through.
Well done!  And now you wish, perhaps,
to learn of less familiar traps?

Beware of heard, a dreadful word,
that looks like beard and sounds like bird.
And dead -- it's said like bed not bead --
and for goodness' sake don't call it deed!
Watch out for meat and great and threat
(They rhyme with suite and straight and debt)

A moth is not the moth in mother,
nor both in bother, broth in brother.
And here is not a match for there,
nor dear and fear for bear and pear.
And then there's dose and rose and lose --
just look them up -- and goose and choose,
and cork and work and card and ward,
and font and front and word and sword,
and do and go and thwart and cart --
come, come I've hardly made a start.
A dreadful language?  Man alive.
I'd mastered it when I was five.
