Ground Zero for Swine Flu?

.
Officials in eastern Mexico may have located Patient Zero, Ground Zero in the swine flu crisis—the village of La Gloria.

By coincidence (yeah, me neither), Smithfield pork farms are located there.

By another coincidence (yeah, me neither), said Smithfield pork farms was fined for contaminating the watershed of Chesapeake Bay back in 2000 and subsequently moved to...ta, dah...the neighborhood of La Gloria.

There's lot more to come on this story.

We can only hope the media will drop their face masks and their panic buttons long enough to actually report on the, oh, what's the word...it's been so long... oh, yeah... facts.
