Only the influenza Type-A virus is capable of what is known as antigenic shift.
The current flu in circulation is an entirely new, mutated pathogen formed from elements of human, pig, and avian virus strains.
Overflowing with mutated viruses, the respiratory epithelial host cells of the pig eventually burst open and circulate the new flu virus into the susceptible human population.

    Thank God that there's a shift in the way people think. At least YouTubers... Is fear mongering dying? Are people smartening up? Will CNN and Fox still have a market?

    More people will die of falling down the stairs than of swine flu. More people will die of tripping and falling down a few feet than of swine flu. More people will die of CNN/Fox-induced fear-related cardiac infarction (heart attack).

    No, I'm not going to pin this victory to Obama's trophy wall, but I do support him.
