Uh...:eek: I must have missed that story.
My impression is that it's a zoonotic disease, so it was probably passed from pigs to humans but then mutated to pass from humans to other humans. The WHO says people can't get it from properly...
Also, swine flu is apparently normally treatable with four antivirals, but this strain is resistant to two of those.
