Ya think?

If I don't read it in the newspaper, I'm not even going to consider that it's a possibility. It's just random luck that Milan, NYC, Boston and all the Tyson plants got hit hard.

Not far from here. I wear a mask when going to the hospital otherwise I stay away.
In the Military, 55 years ago, we were warned that the biggest problem with a biological attack was eventually the sickness would return to those that sent it.

Yep....when the BOGO and BOG2 sales start.

With China banning IMPORTS there will be a huge surplus here.

Doesn't bode well for Chinese dogs, though.
