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) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

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. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

In South-Korea it's called 돼지인플루엔자
basically 돼지 (pig) + 인플루엔자 (loanword from English "influenza" but than in Konglish pronounciation due to the hangeul) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

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. 1 person has voted this message useful |
