It seems people are getting really frightened that we may have a deadly flu pandemic which will kill millions on our hands. I hope that is not the case.
What puzzles me, however, is the form this flu has taken. Swine flu? How does that happen? Really? How does an illness that infects livestock and animals make the switch to humans? Is it some sort of mutation? Did a human with the flu and a sick pig get together somehow? Was it just a handshake/hoofshake or something more? Manbearpig?!
Or is it just an unfortunate lab accident? Maybe this is the work of a genocidal mad scientist, or China's new plan for world domination. The whole thing is just weird.
