Yes, that's right, humans recently infected a number of pigs.

The U.S. Agriculture Department announced last week that six pigs from the Minnesota State Fair contracted the new H1N1 virus over the summer, the first report of pigs catching the virus in the United States. The hogs likely got it from fairgoers, officials said.

Damn humans, spreading pestilence to innocent pigs. It should be called Human Flu, not Swine Flu.
[Update] There's hope yet that we may be able to protect innocent pigs from those disease ridden primates.
An international group of scientists has decoded the DNA of the domestic pig, research that may one day prove useful in finding new treatments for both pigs and people, and perhaps aid in efforts for a new swine flu vaccine for pigs.
Hmmm. This seems like an excuse for another Muppets clip.


Tune in next week ... "NOOO!!!!" ... OK then don't. See if I care.
