Is there anyway to get these folks at the CDC and WHO to STOP calling this ‘Swine Flu’.

We ALREADY HAVE ‘SWINE FLU’. This is a NEW VIRUS that contains 3 different markers for 3 different swine flus, N. American AVIAN flu, AND Human Flu Strain “A”.

I even saw a post here at FR from someone who grew up on a farm dismissing this whole thing because they had “old fashioned swine flu” as a kid, and thought nothing of this...

I’m not suggesting panic, but for Gosh Sakes — they need to STOP calling it SWINE FLU — It’s NOT ‘Swine Flu’!!!!!!!

ARGHHHH! (LOL)

Suggested names for this virus:
1. Mexican Swine Flu
2. Chimera Flu (3 pigs, a bird, and a human... LOL)
3. Mexiflu
4. ManBirdPig Flu

Granted some of the suggestions above are probably too humorous to use in describing what is a real threat. But, does anyone else feel as I do that calling it swine flu UNDER-represents the threat of this new flu especially in rural areas where REGULAR swine flu (that CAN’T be transmitted from human to human) is a normal part of life?

I choose #3 - Mexiflu

That's where it originated so let's give them ‘credit’ for something! Now, close the damn borders!
