stop calling hogs or pigs “swine”? It’s so demeaning.
Problem solved.
They’ve banned travel to MX. I’m sure the Obama and Calderon administrations are working on a multilateral plan.
Because it tortures you, sometimes leaving you dead, without gaining any useful intelligence.
because its in your hair!
mmm… bacon.
I mean, he certainly wants to put his name on everything else for which there is a naming contest.
Because I don’t think they’ve succeeded naming something in every county after him yet.
1. Most people have no clue what morbidity means.
2. Those that know are loser vegans who won’t catch the swine-derived disease.
Me.
I love pig. Especially with sauce.
I am hoping for a fall in pork prices so I can eat more, cheaply. No shoots and leaves for me.
They didn’t want to do any kind of planning and prep, so here are the consequences.
Okay, I don’t mean that but you have to put something in the subject line. Anyway…

That deserves everyone’s accolades! LOL!
Porcinusitis?
Since, no matter what Michelle Bachmann says, Gerald Ford was President when it first appeared.
Why not rename the Spanish Flu while we’re at it? After all, I’m sure the Spaniards aren’t thrilled with that appellation, especially since it most likely originated in Kansas.
My suggestion for renaming this flu? Why not the NAFTA Flu?
And we might as well get in the habit of using the alphanumeric designations.
We all know this wasn’t the first, and it sure won’t be the last.
H1N1: caused Spanish flu in 1918 and has been identified as the serotype of the current “swine flu” originating from Mexico
H2N2: Asian Flu in 1957
H3N2: Hong Kong Flu in 1968
H5N1: pandemic threat in the 2007-08 flu season- avian or bird flu
SARS
TB
MDRTB
and so on.
It would be more accurate considering all the pork they vote for.
Being a fake doctor and all, what’s your take on this disease?
A potent combination of pig and avian flu mixed with human flu dna. I guess you can say pigs really do fly.
It was probably created by the Obama administration to get the heat off of him for being such a dufus.
Despite the repeatedly-breaking news that this is a full-blown, Michael Bey-movie epidemic, the actual figures are pretty ordinary.
According to the actual people who work at the WHO, it’s 7 confirmed dead and 79 infected from the swine flu.

Can we not hype ourselves into believing this is the Andromeda Strain, and we need to start dropping nukes on Mexico to stop the outbreak???
You’re right, this isn’t the Andromeda Strain. It isn’t H5N1 “Avian” flu that’s gone contagious (that would probably be “Bad”, as in 35-foot long Twinkie, total protonic reversal “bad” – or at least “Spanish Flu” bad).
What it is, is what WHO is describing: a novel strain of the flu that appears to be highly contagious and has spread past its region of origin and into a broader population.
By reacting – not panicking, but reacting – now, it’s still possible it can be contained before it becomes a pandemic.
It appears that this flu isn’t too much worse than a “normal” seasonal flu. However, since it’s new and infectious, it could spread to a majority of the population, and it does kill some people that it infects.
So, I’d opt for something in the middle between panic and dismissal. While it’s still a limited number of cases, it should be treated as something we can contain. If/when it reaches a full pandemic stage, the best thing to do is what you do with any flu: stay home, rest, blah blah – and if you’re at high risk from flu, see your doctor about an anti-viral (Tamiflu, etc.) prescription if you start coming down with flu-like symptoms.
