When Pigs Flu

First off is it Swine Flu or H1N1?...Can we make up our minds already?..
Or how about we change the name to fool the people into thinking that it's not as serious or to help out the declining pork industry to sell and not experience a recession like the rest of us.....
O.K. that'll work for now...

They said that America wouldn't have a black President until pigs fly...well guess what My President is Black and pigs flu.

Just in case you were living under a rock or in a cave for the past month the 2009 influenza A (H1N1) virus outbreak is an epidemic new strain of the flu virus that surfaced in April 2009. It's commonly referred to as the swine flu..(I told y'all pigs were evil).

Swine Flu the TRUE STORY (Top 10):

1. It's a epidemic new strain of the flu

2. Currently its in Phase 5 outbreak stage, meaning it's one level below an official pandemic

3. Even though its exact origin isn't known, it was first detected by officials between a link in Mexico, Texas, and California

4. Within days of this initial detection hundreds of cases were discovered in Mexico, the U.S., and other countries

5. According to the U.N.'s World Health Organization (WHO), based in Switzerland, there are 2,389 confirmed and 4,100 probable cases worldwide and between 44-100 deaths.

6. This new strain is a reassortment of four strains of influenza A virus subtype H1N1, according to the Center for Disease and Control and Prevention (CDC), combining one endemic in humans, one endemic in birds, and two endemic in pigs (swine)

7. The top three countries with the highest total overall swine cases in order from the top are Mexico, the U.S. (not far behind #1), and Canada...all Western hemisphere countries...

8. The last historical 2oth Century Flu Pandemic was the Hong Kong flu from 1968-69 which affected 50 million people and killed 34,000. (globalsecurity.org)

9. The first American case was diagnosed on April 14, 2009 in San Diego County, California from a person who fell ill on March 30. The second case was on April 17.

10. Several countries such as Serbia, Chinia, and Russia banned the import of pork products from North America, and on April 29 the Egyptian Government decided to kill all 300,000 pigs in Egypt....in 2008 the total worldwide pig population was a little over 152 million (152,000,000 +).

Just like lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, and peanut butter....I'm sure there's nothing to worry about...right???...
