Serious quesiton here - whats the chances they have to start to kill off
for public good? That might hurt FEED.
China is the largest
consumer of pork in the world, and they import a bunch.This is just the news that could make or break stock...buy on rumor, sell on news. A quote on
yahoonews:
...
Governments including China, Russia and Taiwan began planning to put anyone with symptoms of the deadly virus under quarantine.
Others were increasing their screening of pigs and pork imports from the Americas or banning them outright despite health officials' reassurances that it was safe to eat thoroughly cooked pork.
Some nations issued travel warnings for Mexico and the United States.
WHO's emergency committee is still trying to determine exactly how the virus has spread, ####uda said
"Right now we have cases occurring in a couple of different countries and in multiple locations," he said. "But we also know that in the modern world that cases can simply move around from single locations and not really become established."
Raising the pandemic alert phase could entail issuing specific recommendations to countries on how to halt the disease. So far, WHO has only urged governments to step up their surveillance of suspicious outbreaks.
WHO Director-General Margaret Chan called the outbreak a public health emergency of "pandemic potential" because the virus can pass from human to human.
Her agency was considering whether to issue nonbinding recommendations on travel and trade restrictions, and even border closures. It is up to governments to decide whether to follow the advice.
...
Banning imports could send the price of domestic pork up (in China that is)...watch FEED carefully. This could be a boon for holders of FEED. Hell, the price could bottom in a panic, then skyrocket.This is a curve ball I hadn't considered.
ETA: the swine flu seems to be contained to our hemisphere, not China's. This may be nothing, but governments seem to be taking this seriously.
for public good? That might hurt FEED.
