to late to change it, it's known as Swine Flu to me

I'm more worried. I worry because the name change was done thanks to Pork interests whining and complaining that calling it Swine Flu was affecting pork sales.
The name wasn't changed to make it more accurate or more informative. It was done with political pressure to serve a few private interests.
It sets a disturbingly clear example of how our government is run by special interests.

In my mind, it doesn't change anything because it's the same virus, but the reason they did it was so that people would confuse consumption of pork and ham to cause the virus.

It's the same thing, they changed the name because people thought you could only get it by eating pigs which is untrue so they renamed it to it's actual scientific name.

It makes it better for the pig farmers because they felt their pork was getting a bad rap. You cannot get the flu from eating meat. The name was changed to make pork producers happy.

Hopefully the report that swine flu might be less potent than originally feared, will calm people down.

It probabley makes it worse. Since people dont know what it means they will take it less seriously.
