According to the apparently erroneous assumption of the Canadian government that the origin of the swine flu epidemic was probably nothing to do with domestic pigs, if this fact?
On May 2, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency had this to say about the epidemic in a swine herd in Alberta A (H1N1): "It is very likely that pigs were exposed to the virus from a Canadian who had recently returned from Mexico and had been exhibiting symptoms similar to the flu. "now, it happens that the farm worker tested negative for the virus .
So what if it were the other way, the virus originated in Canadian pigs and infected a human who then traveled to Mexico?
Looking at the epidemiological figures today, it is possible that the epidemic began among Canadian pigs.
Canada has 165 confirmed human cases in a population of 33 million people. The United States, which probably similar testing capabilities, has 642 confirmed cases and a population of 304 million. Thus, Canada has 2.3 times more cases per million inhabitants than the United States. Mexico, by comparison, has 822 cases in a population of 109 million, which means it has 3.5 times more cases than the United States. Canada reported that the virus has infected 220 pigs, and no other country has yet found in pigs.
The number of cases, of course, are affected by the number of samples tested and the capacity of laboratories in the country, but epidemiologists listen to the best information they have at present, and c is what the numbers say right now.
Back to my speculation Canada-human Mexico. What if this hypothetical carrier infected Mexicans in a rural area, perhaps he was a trader and the pig virus then spread to Mexico, which has a population of about 20 million, much larger than that of all Canadian cities? Mexican or Canadian power infected then went to the US and started the epidemic here.
A fine line, of course, speculation separates a dirty word in science hypothesis.
and that which, if perhaps not, as they say, "highly probable" it is possible that many of the most accepted theories making the rounds in the scientific and public health as well .
