Eating pork has nothing to do with how this flu was transferred.
Swine flu is simply a mutated strain of the regular seasonal flu. I'm no more scared of it than I am the regular seasonal flu that we deal with every year. Approximately 35,000 people die every year from the plain old flu. Thousands more are hospitalized etc...
The media overplayed the whole scenario and caused undue panic in many people.
