I don’t like the name “Swine Flu” because this bug has human, avian and swine components.
I’m calling it Mexiflu, from another poster’s suggestion.

I bet the name gets changed as soon as a muslim gets it.

The Mexican Mix-up Flu (I never salsach a thing.)
How about Mix-Flu? - They mix the genetic components of all the viruses together by including them all in a vaccine, thus hoping to get a broader, and more potent resulting virus from the infected individuals.
Call it H1N1 of 2009

Main article: 2009 H1N1 flu outbreak
Mexican officials state that since March 2009, there have been over 1000 reported cases and put the death toll at 81, with 20 confirmed to be linked to a new swine influenza strain of Influenza A virus subtype H1N1.[9][10][11] Officials in the United States said that seven people were infected with swine flu in California, two in Texas, and two in Kansas all have recovered.[12] Kansas state health officials confirmed two cases of swine flu in Kansas on 25th April 2009, just minutes after eight school children in New York City were believed to be infected after a school trip to Mexico. The New York case has been confirmed as Influenza A Virus, which meets the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (or CDC) definition of a probable case of swine flu. Tests have now confirmed that this flu virus is the new strain of H1N1, according to reports on UK BBC News 24. In Canada, the virus has not been confirmed.[13] There are no confirmed cases outside North America. In London a member of a British Airways cabin crew was taken to hospital with “flu-like symptoms” after falling ill on a flight from Mexico City to Heathrow, but the man’s results were negative. There are ten suspected cases in New Zealand with students whom had visited Mexico. Like the US students, they tested positive for Influenza A which means swine flu is highly likely. There have also been reports of suspected infection in Canada, Chile, France and Israel. Airports worldwide are on alert, with passengers from Mexico entering Japan being screened for the virus. The head of the World Health Organization will lead the agency’s efforts against a deadly swine flu outbreak.[14][15] The World Health Organization warns this new swine flu has the potential to become an international influenza pandemic.[16] On April 25, 2009, the World Health Organization has issued a document called the Swine influenza frequently asked questions.[17] On 24th April 2009, the World Health Organization agreed that the current situation constitutes a public health emergency of international concern.

How about “Mexican Influxuenza”?
When al quaeda boards planes to Amerika, they’ll be asked if they have the flu and they’ll say they do not. They never lie and they and their germs will get in if they’re not already here (which they probably are).
