40% of animal protein worldwide is pork. Poultry is a close second. Infected feed and wild hogs are likely sources of the spread of ASF. China buys most of our hog exports. They own Smithfield. We are short animal feed and prices are exploding.

That's a surprising stat to me. I would have guessed poultry and beef to be #1 or #2.
What they should do is put pigs that have it into isolation and let natural selection run its course so they develop a breed of pigs that are immune. This eradicating enormous numbers of livestock, including chickens, just because they MIGHT have been exposed to pathogens is insanity.
