My wife is a nurse at our local hospital, and recently attended
an in-service seminar given by their infection control specialist.
He told the group that anti-viral drugs were expected to be

as feed supplements in some chinese poultry mega-farms, thus all but
ensuring that the surviving virus would be resistant to them.
