Swine flu kills but nothing to do with pig

Few weeks ago, if you ask me about swine flu, I would give you a stare. By now, almost everybody on this planet know what it is and the impact. Potentially, it could spread before being detected, that makes it more dangerous than the SARS. Everybody should take care of himself/herself, should not go to work when feeling unwell.

However, this swine flu, has nothing to do with pig. At least the pig hasn't got it. Don't know who named it swine flu, but the correct name should be H1N1 strain of virus which is a combination of pig+bird+human virus. Sounds sophisticated.
