Swine Flu at Walworth County Fair Grounds
Strange how we find ourselves (many times unknowingly) embedded in situations that have worldwide implications. Such is the case with the Walworth County Fair in Elkhorn, just 10 miles from my house in Williams Bay in south-eastern Wisconsin. The fair shows off---and sells their happy meat for slaughter---farm animals raised by 4-H children. Interspersed between the Kiddieland Pig Races and corn-dog (ground-up pig penises and anuses) eating, we find large concentrations of humans milling about barns of housed pigs that farmers wish to unload---amidst our current Smithfield’s Swine Flu Virus crisis---are up for sale at the fair’s pig “Meat Animal Sale” auctions.
A blast from the past: Those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it.
In September 1988, a swine flu virus killed one woman and infected others. 32-year old Barbara Ann Wieners was eight months pregnant when she and her husband, Ed, became ill after visiting the hog barn at the Walworth County Fair. Barbara died eight days later, after developing pneumonia. The only pathogen identified was an H1N1 strain of swine influenza virus. Doctors were able to induce labor and deliver a healthy daughter before she died. Her husband recovered from his symptoms.
Influenza-like illness (ILI) was reportedly widespread among the pigs exhibited at the fairgrounds. 76% of 25 swine exhibitors aged 9 to 19 tested positive for antibody to SIV, but no serious illnesses were detected among this group. Additional studies suggested between one and three health care personnel who had contact with the patient developed mild influenza-like illnesses with antibody evidence of swine flu infection.
Fast forward to August, 2009 AD: Only change, situation is far worse – the perfect storm.
Smithfield’s Swine Flu Virus is rampant in the USA where the flu season will begin soon as children are returning to school. Most flu seasons die down in the warmer summer months; where as, this nasty bugger is strengthening while crossing lines from bird to pig to human and back to pig - mutating each time. Wisconsin currently has the highest number of reported cases in the USA with over 5,000 cases to date. Can this be in part due to Wisconsin’s heavy pig farming 4-H culture?
Yes, ramblings of a crazy man for sure. The Walworth County Fair runs from September 2nd through the 7th, 2009. http://www.walworthcountyfair.com/
