madrobinsThe WHO has decided not to continue calling it "swine flu", because that casts a false sense of culpability on pigs. This, apparently, after Egypt slaughtered many pigs in a well-meant (except to the pigs) but useless attempt to avoid the flu. The swine has escaped from the sty, guys, in the same sense that the horse is no longer in the barn. Leave the piggies alone; they have enough troubles in their lives.
Hereafter the flu's correct designation is H1N1 Type A. But you can call it Louise, if you like. Or Charles.
