Wow, now the name of a flu is offensive?

I think that some people have too much time on their hands...

www.phillyburbs.com

The outbreak of swine flu should be renamed "Mexican" influenza in deference to Muslim and Jewish sensitivities over pork, said an Israeli health official Monday.

Deputy Health Minister Yakov Litzman said the reference to pigs is offensive to both religions and "we should call this Mexican flu and not swine flu," he told a news conference at a hospital in central Israel.


Is this crazy or what. Beef and pork exports from the US are being blocked because of this flu which by the way is not transmitted via meat.

Drug companies stocks rise, airline stocks drop, what else can we pile onto this story?

Oh add some conservative on Cavuto saying this is the time to block all illegal immigration, seal the borders, since in his mind they are somehow to blame for this.

Craziness, take a deep breath, and while you keep yourself aware of this potential pandemic, Keep a keen eye on what is going on under the radar..

Aha!!! Great point.... Could be the reason the US cases have been described as mild..

Whereas the folks suffering down in Mexico have the mutant form of the flu..

Which makes sense...

Then tell me why it isn't being reported as such, everywhere I look, it is all conveniently beneath the blanket called swine flu...

There has to be a reason..
