Swine Flu Now Being Called H1N1 Flu By The World Health Organization

In response to a huge outcry from the pork industries worldwide the World Health Organization (WHO) has begun referring the "swine flu" and the H1N1 flu instead. This is because the issue we are dealing with, the human to human spreading of this flu virus is not related to the pork industry or pigs.

The virus is a form of the flu that originate in pigs but pork or pigs have nothing to do with the current problem that we are dealing with.

The pork industry and hog farmers were extremely upset with this disease being given the name swine flu and said that this is hurting their industry and creating an unnecessary bad perception of the pork industry.
