Just after WHO's Renaming 'Swine Flu' To 'Influenza A (H1N1)', China has renamed '猪流感' to '甲型H1N1流感'. (what a stupid name)

I give up. I haven't enrgy for explain it more.
If you want, call it swine flu and you can remain ignorant that the swines haven't this flu A/H1N1-2009, you don't
get the infection from the swines, the genetic of the strain's BIRD-SWINE-HUMAN, that the mutation which is
discussed transfers HUMAN-HUMAN.
i leave this thread before I feel truly annoyed. Bye.

In South-Korea it's called 돼지인플루엔자
basically 돼지 (pig) + 인플루엔자 (loanword from English "influenza" but than in Konglish
pronounciation due to the hangeul)

I don't want to annoy anyone by bumping this thing up but you know how these viruses mutate! ^^
The Japanese are calling it 新型インフルエンザ "a new type of flu".

Interesting thread. There was a sign in my butcher shop a few months ago explaining pork doesn't cause swine flu,
in English and Spanish. Amazing what a name can do the meat industry.
