    I posted the same response in the separate thread that you created for this post, but here it is again.


    and thanks for doing so.

    i was confused.


    If its called H1N1, and it mutates, why do they still call it H1N1?

    its a mystery to me.

    it's not the swine flu...it's H1N1 influenza A


    doesn't that just roll off the tongue..... :roll:

    Some assclown suggested that we shouldn't call it "swine flu" because it may offend people of Jewish, or Hindu faith but instead wanted to call it "Mexican Flu"

    Be cause that's not offensive.... :lol:

    Flu names have a long history of being offensive. I had the Hong Kong flu once. I have never had a hurricane named after me, though. Hurricanes had a long time-honored history of being offensive, as well. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, ya know. So, they used to all be named after women. It's good to see naming of all this stuff getting more real.
