Israel has already rejected the name swine flu, and opted to call it "Mexico flu." Jewish dietary laws forbid eating pork.
The Paris-based World Organization for Animal Health also objected to the name, saying the virus contains avian and human components and no pig so far has been found ill with the disease.

yes i know that too, the deal is, this virus is transfeard from human to human, which was never bin the cease, it always went from animal to human, now its different, same like birthflu, it never went from bird to a human, but now it does, animals can carry different flu virusses, thats why they mutate, check the deal on pigs, pigs can carry several flu virusses, that made this virus named pig virus (they have to give it a name) normally it goes from pig to human, but not from human to human, and now it does, and yep israel also named it the mexican virus because a pig is ...hw you name it, same as for moslims...dirty? I am not worried about this flu, but i do follow it, all those people confirmed to have swine flu in all the countries have bin visiting mexico, the only concern is....they can infect other people, so the warning is good, try to grab the source to protect others and to prevent more infections, because i have to say, so many deaths in a short time?
