I happen to be a big fan of Minnesota. They do have a very pro-social state. It's a great state, no I don't happen to live there, but, I think it provides a good quality of life for its people, not counting the weather, which, I share with them. It is good they tracked it down afterwards....fairly fast, I guess. I do think this could have been anticipated.

I still, however, do not understand how the government, be it local, state or federal has no real rules on what animal secretions or tissue we are exposed to, when, human secretions and tissues is generally something we prefer not to be splattered with. Look at how protected operating room workers are....except for sticks or slices, which, is a risk of the business. The only one inhaling any aersolized human is the patient, inhaling what becomes airborne of themselves. I won't get any more graphic.

To assume because it comes from an animal that it does not pose a potential contagion to a human is naive. Autoimmune mimicry aside, which is a totally different issue than infection, it seems a stupid assumption that inhaling animal 'inards' is OK.

Inhaling anything but plain old air, seems repugnant to me (somedays even our air is a stretch)....inhaling pig mist is beyond what I consider risky behavior....it seems to me, like a good way to get really, really sick. BEEEYUCK....which in my part of the country is worse than YUCK.
