Randumb Thought




May 8, 2009

It has become apparent to me through recent media coverage that we’re not supposed to call it the swine flu anymore, but H1N1. I’m sorry for offending.

I do, however, have a few questions:

Why is “swine flu” not used anymore?

  • Are swine offended by the term?
  • Is the swine industry (for lack of a better term) offended by the usage and association with swine?
  • Is it an attempt to make the virus kosher?
  • Or is it something else?
