Capillary leakage provides nutrients and antioxidants for rapid pneumococcal proliferation.
The EU is the world's second biggest producer of pork after China and the biggest exporter of pork and pork products. The EU's main producer countries are Germany, Spain and France and between them they represent half of the EU's total production. The EU exports about 13% of its total production. Most of the EU's pork exports go to East Asia, in particular China. These animals are infected virally, and the majority suffer pneumonococcal proliferation at slaughter.
Most importantly, in regards to the high industrial rate of butchering of animal organs, particularly lungs, such as a million a week in Germany alone during the pandemic, we have witnessed repeated slaughterhouse-related COVID19 outbreaks. The explanation is a source of unhygienic biohazards associated with slaughtered animal tissue, butchered lungs and organ capillaries that accelerates the dispersion of anaerobic pathogens involved in COVID19 colonization throughout the ambient neighbouring air, water and wastewater and all physical surfaces and soil.
Porcine Respiratory Disease Complex. (Brockmeier SL, et al, 2002)
Globally, more than 60% of herds for the past 30 years in Europe and the US (and likely other nations with similar farm2fork practices) suffer from porcine pneumonia.
Virus related disease are untreatable.
The viral diseases include Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS), swine influenza (SI), Porcine respiratory coronavirus (PRCv) and Aujeszky’s disease (AD) and the bacteria involved include Bordetella bronchiseptica, Haemophilus parasuis (Glässer's disease), Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (Enzootic pneumonia), Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (pleuropneumonia), Streptococcus suis and Pasteurella multocida. Infection is by the respiratory route in all cases, the organism colonising the tonsils (A. pleuropneumoniae, S. suis, H. parasuis), the trachea and bronchi (B. bronchiseptica, M. hyopneumoniae and swine influenza virus) and the lung. Those colonising the lung cause pneumonia directly by attacking the lining of the delicate alveoli where gas exchange takes place or the cells defending the lung, allowing organisms such as P. multocida to colonise. Triggers to pneumomia are the food-stress in routines of farm2fork fasting of animals prior to slaughter, plus confinement stress, increased crowding-stress, heat-stress and drought stress create conditions that accelerate conversion of healthy bacteria to unhealthy pathogens, including in bacterial related pneumonia
On average
Note, that the same is true for humans during infection or physical trauma.
Cooperation between Viral and Bacterial Pathogens in Causing Human Respiratory Disease (Smith H and C. Sweet, 2002):
Viruses that most commonly attack the human respiratory tract are influenza virus, parainfluenza viruses, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), adenoviruses, measles virus, rhinoviruses, and coronaviruses (64). The main bacterial pathogens found in this tract are Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, Haemophilus influenzae, Staphylococcus aureus, Neisseria meningitidis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Bordetella pertussis, and, in immunocompromised patients, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (37). The bacteria concerned are predominantly S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae, S. aureus, and N. meningitidis.
However, on average, approximately the rate of biohazardous-lung butchering is approximately 900 animal lungs per week per site the United States, Europe and high industrial nations. This rate is approximately 500 animals per second in China.
