This is a lecture on how hospitals will treat the dying from a massive outbreak/pandemic. It says who will live, who will die (babies/elderly) and how gracious the environment will be. NOT! Pay close attention to the first speaker.

The Creole Pig was once the mainstay of the economy of rural Haiti. It served as the farmer’s hedge against bad weather, crop failure and all sorts of unforeseen occurrences. In 1982, the US government responded to an African Swine Flu outbreak in the Dominican Republic by ordering the complete eradication of all of Haiti’s Creole pigs. Produced by Grassroots International – a U.S. based social justice organization partnering with the National Congress of Papaye Peasant Movement (MPNKP) in Haiti – this video tells the story of the eradication, the hardship it caused, and the efforts of Haitian organizations to reintroduce this key economic asset.

The UN has warned that the virus has the potential to become a pandemic, but said the world was better prepared than ever to deal with the threat. Is the threat as serious as it may seem? Is this the pandemic that could wipe out half the world’s population? Or is it a world wide panic exacerbated by the media?
