Pigs are a genus of even-toed ungulates within the family Suidae. The name hog most commonly refers to the domestic pig (Sus domestica) in everyday parlance, but technically encompasses several distinct species, including the Wild Boar.

Seasonal Flu (regular flu) infects millions of people every year. It's fair to say it's a common ailment, just like a cold. Regular flu also kills thousands of people each year... Of all the swine flu cases I heard about, most people are getting better, just like with a regular flu. Of course if you're elderly or a newborn or an immunodeficient person, well, the flu might be harder to treat and may kill you, but that's not news! Are we panicking over nothing? Asked by Joao Silva - Mon May 4 09:27:12 2009 - - 8 Answers - 2 Comments A. It's not really different from the "regular flu". And yes, some people are majorly overreacting. The media is often creating unnecessary panic in gullible people by focusing on a variety of diseases that turn out to be no big deal. Anyone remember West Nile Virus? SARS? Bird flu? If you hardly do it's because not much ever came of any of those things. Take a clue, people.

I am not usually germ phobic but am germ conscious and am a little concerned since I am expecting between today and next Tuesday (when I get induced). We just moved to TN from CA so my family is flying out from CA and I am worried they may catch something while flying...in this case swine flu.
