NEWS FLASH!!! The Swine Flu has been ERADICATED!!!
That’s right, thanks to “brave” bloggers like USDemocrazy (and maybe with a little help from the World Health Organization [WHO]), the term Swine Flu will not be heard again!
Instead, the WHO will call that strain of flu by its scientific name H1N1 influenza A. (All right, maybe we exaggerated bit in the paragraph above.)
So why the name change? Well, it seems that it’s bad for marketing (and the pigs’ self esteem). Pork producers are finding drops in demand for pork.
The name is also not that accurate. According to the United Nations Food Agency, the flu cannot be transferred by pig meat, and in fact might not even be carried by pigs.
Does this mean our porker pals are off the hook? Not quite.
Recently Egypt’s government decided to kill 350,000 pigs hoping to stave of the Swine Flu H1N1 influenza A. Russia banned the import of American pork.
On a closing note, Swine Flu H1N1 influenza A may not be the end-of-times pandemic people have feared. Scientists believe that H1N1 is a relatively mild flu.
Although people have died from H1N1, remember that the regular flu claims 36,000 lives in America yearly.
So calm down and hug a pig.
