Folks, during the midst of SARS I was at Ground Zero (GuangZhou) and noticing that no one was wearing masks like the folks in HK I asked my translator about it.
The translator (a cute PRC Navy Nurse) told me that in China they had a perfectly effective prevention to getting SARS.... 'Stay away from sick people.'
Good advice for any flu breakout.
Some additional advice from the CDC:
'....if there is swine flu in your neighborhood avoid kissing and use some other way to express affection....'
I do not know about you but I do not intend to be kissing any pigs in the near future  ...

Daffy,it was your mention of "culling the weakest of the herd" that caused me to think you were suggesting there might be a genetic element involved.
But my mistake,and my apology.
No problem, I was trying to use it as a metaphor / reference to human herd immunity, but understand where it might have been misconstrued.
Thanks for explaining -- apology for being a bit too vague.

Though mostly right (the posts), I have to pick on the details as I cannot let go being a perpetually punctilious and supercilious pedant.
No problem, as your neurosis is easily ignored.

An observation: Swine flu indicates some contact with pigs - however remote...
Actually no QQ,
Only the Vector Zero needs to be in contact with pigs.
It is sorta like SARS, one cook in GuangZhou slaughtered an infected civet cat and spread the disease to the whole restaurant. From there it was spread by travellers to the rest of the world.
The interesting thing here is that none of the victims of record in Mexico had contacts with pigs.... therefore they are still looking for the Vector Zero...

Oh, I wasn't going to reference who YOU were kissing, but rather that those who kiss you would be risking swine flu infection...
Oh well, you just couldn't leave it alone... Had to have the need to boast get the best of you.

Due to the nature of the influenza virus, and the specific mutation of this one, proximity to pigs does not seem to have been needed - as it contained avian and swine components, it is very possible that the components came together in a carrier (avian or human) and incubated into the new strain there...

But iDuck,
Unlike you (and I have this from an excellent source) I have not had any trouble in keeping the weight off. Ego, if you are looking for a swine I suggest that possibly you should look in a mirror.

Exactly!!!
