***Boy, they didn’t see that coming! African Swine Fever (ASF) ***
They should have seen it coming! The US tried to get Mexico to stop pork trade with Cuba because ASF was endemic to that communist island. The fear was Mexico’s herds would be infected, and soon the US herds. And that was about FIFTY YEARS AGO!
They need to give it a better name.
I humbly suggest: "Pigbola".
