How 'SARS' Related to 'PIGS' ?

An independent source of information not tied to the pork industry.

It's amazing that nobody is asking whether the coronavirus fits into SARS the same way that porcine coronavirus fits into the epidemics of PRRS, PRDC and PWMS, three serious syndromes
in Chinese swine.

IS PRESSURE COMING FROM ANY INDUSTRY NOT TO ASK THIS QUESTION ??????

The recent outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in China, where pigs also suffer from several different severe acute respiratory syndromes, raises questions about a possible link between the porcine and human epidemics. So far, all three different agents found in SARS patients are ones that have also been associated with the respiratory or digestive illnesses seen in pigs in China. As far as we know, there have been no tests of SARS patients for the virus that causes PRRS. Having found agents associated with PRRS in SARS patients, it would seem only prudent to test the SARS patients for variants of the PRRS virus itself. (See Editorials below)
