Can you catch swine flu from bacon?

"Is it safe to eat pig meat?
Yes. There is no evidence that swine flu can be transmitted through
eating meat from infected animals.
However, it is essential to cook meat properly. A temperature of 70C
would be sure to kill the virus."

This is a question that needs to be addressed - there are enough health
risks in a packet of smokey bacon flavour Wotsits as it is, without adding
swine flu to the list of noxious ingredients.
Personally, I'm taking no chances - visits to my Mother in Law have been
curtailed until the emergency is over.

and are vulnerable to heating. So unless you are eating raw pig
that's alive, or has just been killed, you should be OK?
The real problem with this new outbreak of Swine flu
is it has jumped to being human to human infectious.
So watch out for people who look unwell and avoid contact
Good thing about quickly mutating viruses like this one,
is they tend to mutate to a safe form within 6 months

Generally, you're far from correct.
Viruses have a range of thermal stability and those which have
Archaebacteria as hosts have been found to be stable at temperatures
closer to boiling than to 37C. SARS-associated corona virus has been
determined to be infective up to 51 days post-mortem, and SVD, foot and
mouth, bluetongue and other significant veterinary viruses have been
discovered in pasteurised serum and cooked meats.

I wouldn't make such a statement, not even with the addition of a
question mark, presumably indicating your real uncertainty about the
apparently definitive statements you are making.

Bullshit.

it is now in the human population and thus it spreads from person to person
just as any flu does.
Most strains of flu seem to have come from domesticated animals and quite a
lot from pigs. The problem with this strain is the way it affects the lungs.

So it is contaminated and you can catch it from bacon.

But you do have a point, bird flu is mostly prevalent in water birds
like ducks and geese

"Swine flu" has nothing to do with pigs this time around.
Presumably when "Red Flu" came to Britain in the 1970s people should
have avoided Manchester United[1] and copies of Mao's book?
[1] Always a good idea.

Turkeys can fly and it looks spectacular on a wide-screen telly watching
them.
Wide-screen tellies are fantastic, great invention.

If you eat it before it's dead, it'll definitely be wild.

Maybe some can, and some can't:
"the "Turkey Drop," where live wild turkeys are dropped out of a
low-flying airplane [...] The problem is that wild turkeys can't fly
very well. Some of the birds would splat on the pavement."

option is simply not to eat it. The scientific view appears to be that
properly cooked bacon is safe to eat. Perhaps there are Islamic or
Jewish organisations out there that are trying to whip this up as
evidence that pork is an "unclean" meat? Just stick to the facts and
eat bacon. I am sure bacon will not give anybody swine flu.
