I can breath a sigh of relief that I am not near this. I am in Jefferson County. I feel for the farmers and pet pig owners in this 5 mile quarentine radius though. If testing shows even one positive result, be it a false positive or an actual positive, action will be taken to destroy the whole herd.
Lets say you are the neighbor and have just a few pet potbellied pigs. You are in danger of your pets being destroyed to stop this known disease.
A farmer will be ruined. His whole herd will be destroyed.
