34. Seems like mostly cows, spreading rapidly

But in pigs, there may be more risk of mutation to a form affecting humans more.

Using California as an example, the first cases in cow herds were identified in August.

From CNN Oct. 8th:

...dairy farms in California are reporting that the virus is infecting 50% to 60% of their herds, and 10% to 15% of the cows are dying from their infections, according to the California Dairy Quality Assurance Program.

Other states are showing different rates, but this is a situation that would be scary without functioning, trained, funded government oversight.

We can't afford Trump mishandling another pandemic.

It makes good cheese. nt. Mosby Oct 30 #8

Makes great cheese until amateurs get into it. Regulation and inspection is key. marble falls Oct 30 #11

Lol, ill give you one guess where rejected milk goes? getagrip_already Oct 30 #16

Cheese makers have to have inspection cycles. They also pasteurize milk. marble falls Oct 30 #17
