H1N1, Swine Flu, or Mexican Flu?

There is mounting evidence that we maybe should not be calling the H1N1 flu, the swine flu. After all, it is said to be part bird flu, part swine flu and mostly human flu.

Yesterday, at 9:30 a.m., Fox reporter William La Jeunesse went out on assignment to a pig farm in Fresno, California.   He filed a televised report explaining what makes up the virus and how it was created, or is believed to have been created.

He says it is thought that birds, who had bird flu, flew over a pig who had swine flu. The birds droppings fell near the pig, who ingested part of it. He said that swine flu is active in the intestines and was a cozy place for the 2 viruses to live together in the pigs’ intestines. This could have happened with many pigs.

Soon, aspects of the two viruses merged together, and became an avian plus — swine flu virus. Or maybe, you could call it avian/swine flu. Remember, too that the pig may have been asymptomatic. That means that it showed no signs of illness. Now, pigs also can sneeze and cough, and phlegm can be spread around by these animals as well.

Then, a human, gets involved. He only need touch a contaminated surface and then later touch his nose, eyes or mouth to be infected. This human had to have a human virus as well, at the time. Apparently the avian/swine flu and the human flu incubated together to then form a swine flu. But that is a swine flu that is maybe 1 part bird, 2 parts swine and 5 parts human virus.

So, if that is the case, the swine flu could be misnamed, and there are lots of people and PIGS unhappy about this.

People are foolishly avoiding eating pork like the plague. Yet no one has ever gotten a flu by eating a pig, or a bird.  After all, it is cooked, and it is not any kind of threat. Yet in Egypt they are needlessly killing off whole herds of pigs!!!  Even though there are NO cases of swine flu in Egypt! Lets not get carried away people   ……..

The fact that this virus is probably going to go global is not the end of the world. Regrettably, there have been a few deaths.   But, every new virus can kill the very weak, which is the very young and the very old. This is what has happened. There are relatively few deaths. In general, as Dr. Dean Edell has already stated this week on the radio, it is a mild virus and nothing to worry so much over.

True, it may become a world-wide flu, but it just doesn’t seem to be any worse than any other new virus. It is just getting a lot of attention, partly because the world does worry and fret over the possibility that is very real that one day a killer flu like the Spanish Flu of 1918 was.

So, let’s rename this flu the Mexican flu. Or, go by it’s technical name H1N1.
