The Swine Flu Isn't

You name it and you can claim it.

So what has happened to the Swine Flu?

The term has vanished in favor of the more moderate sounding N1H1 Virus. Somehow, that term sounds less threatening than Swine Flu. Then, too, the pork producers were probably unhappy with the idea of Swine Flu and the possible attachment to their product. In any case, the Swine Flu has vanished and the N1H1 is still killing people.

Guess the moral here is that a virus by any other name is still a virus...and a deadly one at that.
