i think that in asian countries the Swine Flu did not spread rapidly compared to those countries that are located in colder climates. we should still be very thankful that the swine flu did not cause massive infections.

It hasn’t affected my business to date, I hope it doesn’t. We got to get a handle on this or it could be big trouble.

the spread of AH1N1 or Swine Flu is really scary. It is a good thing that this virus is not very deadly. We are advised to take Vitamin-C and to wear face masks.

Yes, that’s a good point. The virus is clearly derived from swine flu, but there’s no other connection with swine, and it’s acting like a straightforward human flu now. I see that the WHO has decided to officially call it “N1N1 flu”, though that’s really no more useful since there are lots of other H1N1 influenzas. Still, the fact is, there is no good name, so we may as well use something misleading in a different way.

(I’ll still have to use the “s” word in the descriptions, though, until everyone gets the memo and knows what I’m talking about.)

I’m going to ask a big favor. I’m a veterinarian in the food industry who happens to specialize in swine. My peers are very interested in encouraging everyone to use the correct name as accepted by the CDC and WHO: 2009 H1N1. I have been dealing with questions on a daily basis from people who either are sure that they are going to get sick from eating pork or who think I’m placing my life in danger by working with pigs. I’m worried that people will be taking inappropriate protective actions (changing their diet instead of their hygiene) in an effort to avoid contracting flu. Your help and the help of those in your profession of avoiding the “swine flu” slang and using the scientifically accepted name will go a long way in helping those of us on the “frontline” of pubic education.

Which leads me into thanking you for taking the time to keep this site updated with HINI information. I cannot tell you have much this has helped me in the past week, keeping me educated so I can in turn keep my coworkers and friends up to date on the details of what’s happening on the research front.
