Swine Flu Info Blog

It's pretty crazy how this swine flu rapidly grew in the course of a couple of weeks, and on top of that we only have little info about it. Is it well a naturel threat though pigs or could it possibly be more, a bio attack?

It now appears that Influenza A (H1N1) can now be passed from humans to pigs - as apparently has happened in Canada. There are a few reports around that point to Bird Flu (H5N1) infecting pig populations without causing the pigs to exhibit any obvious symptoms.
I'm wondering two things here: 1. Has influenza passed from Humans to Pigs easily in the past and 2. What are the chances of the new influenza A (H1N1) and bird flu (H5N1) combining in a pig and creating something new?

I heard it started from pigs and spread it's way to humans, but then today I heard some other theories about Korea creating the swine flu then spreading on purpose in America, what theory is true? Does anybody actually know?

Many countries have banned imports on pork. BUT, many countries have slaughtered pigs because of this.
So my question is, did the swine flu have a positive or negative effect on pigs?

Yesterday 4/27/09 we had a small discassion in one of my highschool classes on how the swine flu crossed from pigs to humans. Three ways were given first that an infacted pig was eaten (poor meat quality in mexico). The virus mutated into a strand that could effect humans. or a human got a little to personal with a pig? wich answer, if any, is true and if none are how did it happen?
