What's in a Name - Swine Flu

It seems that the world now has another crisis to contend with in the so-called "Swine Flu". Over reaction to the name could cause havoc in the meat supply if people stop buying pork products. It appears that swine do not carry the virus and that it in inaptly named and health officials have stated that it is perfectly safe to eat pork.

Tell that to the Egyptians who are killing off their entire pig population and maybe creating a food shortage that could kill thousands. Please see site attached.
