That's one of the reasons they stopped calling it "Swine Flu". People thought you could get it from pork and the pork producers were freaking out.

Quite the contrary in some places it will be skyrocketing! Take for example Egypt:

"After being unsettled by years of battling deadly bird flu, the Egyptian government has decided to slaughter the nation's 300,000 pigs to prevent the spread of swine flu. The health ministry has reportedly put all hospitals and quarantine center on alert to slow the spread of the virus in Egypt."

This in spite of the fact that YOU CANNOT CATCH SWINE FLU FROM A PIG!! And NO ONE THERE HAS IT YET!

In the words of Susan Powter:

CAN WE PLEASE STOP THE INSANITY!!

I bought pork sausages at the supermarket yesterday. They were on sale 50% off.

During the preceding week one person in the US has died of H1N1 flu, and approximately 775 (statistically speaking) have died of conventional seasonal flu.

And of course approximately 7,000 people die each day of malaria, but they are poor and black so God forbid that the media should pay any attention to them.

It's not a racial or socioeconomic bias.

Malaria happens all the time, it would cost huge amounts of money to fix, and the word just isn't fun to say.

Swine Flu.

See? That's got sizzle to it.

Malaria? That's so last century.

Shark attack epidemic off of Florida. That was after we got tired of Chandra Levy.

Then, something better came along.

I didn't want to alarm anyone, but the midnight parrotfish have started to wear facial masks.

I'll work on capturing a picture for you.

Two weeks in Roatan (and excessive exposure to Marco) = no swine flu

On the other hand, apparently my friend Stephanie ended up with it in New Jersey while I was gone. She and I celebrated with a high five.

The swine flu is another prank on society!
