Now the swine need to worry
Just as we get the name for our newest pandemic on the lips of all and sundry, and then find that name changed, the pigs have decided to claim what is rightfully theirs. Somewhere in the wilds of Alberta (we aren’t being told where, in respect for the patients’ anonynity) a small herd of pigs are ill. They caught the H1N1 A (pronounced hi-nee-a, I think) from a human that had gone wandering somewhere south of El Paso. Almost ironic, since we were calling this the “swine flu” when there were no piggies with curly tails involved. On the other hand, maybe the pigs were referring to it as “human flu”. Now, both infected parties must adjust to the new reality.
