What kuyuti's nerd paragraph says is true.
Swine flu mutated to a point where it can be transferred from person to person. Some child already died to it probably because he is young with a weaker immune system than the majority of us.
It is basically the combination of the swine flu bird flu and human flu.
NO you cannot get it from food because its the same as a regular flu, transferred from person to person.
You CAN get the swine flu from food IF you share it with someone WITH the flu.
so basically you can get the swine flu from Mexican pigs, not any other pigs, if you come in contact with it in ways that you can get a flu from a person.
And we wont die from it because it is jsut a flu. perhaps a strong one but not strong enough to kill those with strong immunities.
